Lloyds Scholarship Programme

Out of interest, is it purely the money which is making people apply? I'm not sure if I will. I'm going to be studying Law, and a big thing is to consider that doing a ten week internship at Lloyds during second year can be a big hassle, if you're trying to get into law, since second year is when you would hopefully be doing a vacation scheme. I guess it's the same for investment banks, also. Obviously, all this is quite far off, but if you've done this second year internship at Lloyds then it does reduces your chances at other firms which I'm sure they're aware of, hence why they make it compulsory in second year.

I don't know what other universities's bursuaries are like,, but all loans considered at Warwick, if you're under the £25k mark, you'll be getting about £9700 in loans, I find it quite insane that someone can be on almost £13000 if they also get the Lloyds scholarship, hence why I don't think money is a good enough reason to entice me!

Is this less the case with a 4 year course?

I dont understand what you mean in the 2nd paragraph, are you saying its not enough money?

For a four year course, I don't think my point would really stand! Since you cannot do the investment banking internships until penultimate year. (seen that you're Maths so taking a wild guess)

I'm saying that if you're under the £25k bracket, you're not going to be struggling financially. So, you shouldn't be swayed by the money, when you're already awarded generous loans and bursaries. Obviously it depends on the uni, but I know that at Warwick, you get £2500 for being under £25k. Just saying, that the biggest factor should be whether you think you'd find working out Lloyds interesting.

I totally disagree with you there! When we talk about <£25k, that's based on the entire family not a single person - what you just said there could imply that families earning over £25k ARE going to be struggling financially - you got it all wrong in your head ������������

Yuck, maths...! I know a girl going to do maths at Edinburgh actually

I dont understand the paying system. Do you get paid £18000 after the 10 week program?

What on earth on you going on about?

Imagine this scenario

Student A has parent earning a salary of 23k

Get in total from Warwick and SF £9600+

Student B has parents earning 36k

Gets in total £6700+ from Warwick.

Obviously I'm just referring to the actual student. All students at the same university face similar costs, so household income encompassing the whole family is irrelevant. Clearly, the latter family may be better off, but during term time, roles are likely to be reversed..

Who is going to have more money at university? £35k isn't even that much after tax if made by two people. Therefore don't be under the illusion that person B will be lavished with hands out by their parents. 18k x 2 =36k which is a pretty modest household income.

The squeezed middle is not a myth..

That's just for Warwick who seem to be very generous on Bursary
What about all the other unis?
Going to ucl is gonna be very expensive living in London, and I'm mainly going to do it because at the end of day, its a lot of money you can earn and it's nice to know this before you're actually going to uni

The majority of Universities are extremely generous with their Bursaries. My household income is below £25,000 and therefore with Edinburgh i'm entitled to a £7000 bursary.

Furthermore if I had gone with my other firm of Leeds I was able to get a £9000 bursary for achieving the grades ABB with Leeds Access.

I do find that it is unfair, even though i'm on the good end of things because I have friends with an income just over the boundary whos families struggle more than my own.

£7000 Yeah like printergirl said, UCL are nowhere near as generous, though they do have some scholarships on offer.
