Sponsorship
You must apply each year to your sponsor for payment of your tuition fees.
Submit your application as soon as possible so that your sponsor can process it before you are due to register at the beginning of the new academic term.
Your sponsor must issue you with a sponsorship financial guarantee letter confirming that they are responsible for payment of your fees for each academic term.
When registering, you will need the name of the organisation that is sponsoring you and your sponsorship reference number.
You also need a copy of your Sponsorship Financial Guarantee Letter to upload during registration.
The sponsorship financial guarantee letter must meet the requirements listed below in order for your sponsorship to be approved and an invoice sent out to your sponsor. Failure to provide the relevant information could result in the sponsorship letter being rejected during registration.
The information we need from your sponsor on your sponsorship financial guarantee letter:
- Sponsorship financial guarantee letters must be on official letter headed paper
- Student name and, if known, GUID
- Amount (in £ Sterling) that the sponsor will pay
- Sponsor name
- Address to which invoice should be sent – this should preferably be an email address.
- Payment department contact details (name, email address and telephone number)
- Sponsor's student reference number or PO number (where applicable). If a sponsor requires a reference number or PO number to be quoted on an invoice to facilitate payment this must be noted on the original sponsorship financial guarantee letter.
- Programme of study for which the student is being sponsored
- Academic term for which the student is being sponsored
