Family Bursary (ICRGU at Robert Gordon University)

What is it?

Navitas offers financial support in the form of family bursaries. A bursary applies where two or more students from the same family study with a Navitas member institution.

The first family member can be studying with a Navitas member institution at the same time as other family members, or they may have previously studied with any Navitas member institution. The bursary is granted to the second and subsequent family members who studies with a Navitas member institution. For the purpose of this bursary, a family member is defined as a husband, wife, brother, sister, mother, father, son, daughter or stepchild.

The bursary is equivalent to 10% of tuition fee for the first attempt at units or courses in the programme of study (ie a certificate, diploma, University Transfer Programme (UTP), University Pathway Programme, bachelor’s degree, Pre-Master’s programme, postgraduate qualifying programme or Master’s degree)* with a Navitas member institution (excluding the Mixed English option).† This amount is credited to the eligible student’s tuition fee account each academic term, with the amount being relevant to the number of units undertaken in that term. The bursary applies to the first programme of study only undertaken at a Navitas member institution and does not apply to additional units or repeat units that may also be undertaken.

A completed application must be submitted to the Navitas institution where the second family member is studying, together with supporting documents such as a birth certificate or family card.‡ Application forms can be obtained from the Navitas institution where the student has enrolled.

Certificate programmes may also be known or registered a Foundation Studies or University Transfer Programme Stage I. Diploma programmes may also be known or registered as Undergraduate Pathway, University Transfer Programme Stage II or University Pathway Programme.

The Navitas bursary is not applicable to any English language programme or any component of an English language programme offered by a Navitas member institution.

The supporting documentation that is required will depend on the country where the student is enrolled.

The bursary is equivalent to 10% of the tuition fee for up to 8 units of study within one programme only with a Navitas member institution. The bursary does not apply to additional units or repeat units that may also be undertaken and excludes mixed English options.
