Undergraduate Bursary

Always taking the first step. Making the tough calls. Keeping heads up and hope strong. Being a leader isn’t always easy, but, at the British Army, it’s worth it. As an Army Officer, you’ll push yourself and your team further than you thought possible. At the centre of every unforgettable adventure, you’ll be there, building trust and inspiring achievement. Ready to take on the role of a lifetime? Supported to succeed
Our Army Officer bursaries are there to support you throughout your undergraduate education, so there’s nothing standing in your way. We offer a number of different bursaries, each with different eligibility criteria. Depending on what you study, your performance, and which Corps you’re looking to join, we can provide you with the support you need to go far. If you’re applying to or currently at university, you could eligible for a bursary of up to £42,750 (£75,000 for medical students). When to apply
If you’re applying for an Army Undergraduate Bursary (Technical, Enhanced or Standard), you must do so before the first Friday in December of your final year. To apply for the Enhanced Bursary, you must have at least two years left at university. To apply for the Army Medical Services Bursary, you must do so before February in your second year. We can award bursaries after this date has expired, but we’re normally unable to backdate payments. This is your opportunity to show the world what you’re made of.
