Award details
The Dean’s Law Bursary has been established for UG Law students in financial need to support them throughout the duration of their studies. The bursary is entirely needs-based and is funded by the generous donations of King’s College London alumni and friends of the University.
The Dean’s Law Bursary cannot help with the payment of tuition fees but can be used to support the cost of living. This bursary will be paid in instalments throughout the academic year. The applicant who secures a bursary will receive this in addition to any tuition fees or maintenance loans they are entitled to.
