Funding opportunities
Future Pathways Scholarships
Scholarships for current undergraduate and postgraduate students who face significant barriers to study.
The Future Pathways Scholarship is funded by donations from our alumni and wider donor community.
We aim to award as many scholarships as possible each year, with the number available determined by the level of donor funding available.
Successful applicants will receive £1000 per academic year for the duration of your study with us at York St John University. This is dependent on the successful completion of each year of study. Part-time students will receive their scholarship pro-rata.

To be eligible for this scholarship you must meet at least 2 of the following criteria:
- Students with a residual household income under £26,000

- Students who are a member of a Gypsy, Roma, Traveller, Boater or Showman community
- Students who come from a military family background
- Students whose family circumstances have changed drastically since filling out their loan application. For example, bereavement, chronic illness, or divorce.
