How does this work for scholarships?

[kmo0416]

If a student is paid a scholarship whether it is for tuition fees or maintenance funding at a UK university and this scholarship is paid every year of their degree, if that student ends up withdrawing from the university for whatever reason would they have to pay the money back?

Potentially - depends on the terms of the scholarship (and possibly the reason for withdrawal). I doubt anyone could tell you for certain on the info given.

Do uk universities give out scholarships? News to me , but back in my day I suppose they were unnecessary because fees weren’t a thing so loans were only living costs.

my ds is at a uni abroad on a scholarship. I think it only had to be repaid if he dropped out half way through a year. There was a two week “grace” period where you could change your mind but once classes had started you had to finish the year.

it will depend on the reason as well. Choosing to drop out is different to medically unable, or circumstances beyond their control etc.

They would need to look at the specific terms of that scholarship, which they will have been sent before accepting it. I remember my postgraduate one had very specific dates which I would need to have withdrawn etc.

At the universities I am involved with, the scholarships are paid out in installments on the same timescale as the point at which fees are irrevocably due and non-refundable, so there couldn't be a point at which a student had received their scholarship installments for a semester for which they weren't registered
