Who can apply
Eligibility is as of the 2026 cycle. The organiser has not yet confirmed it for 2027.
Full-time Imperial undergraduate degree students, in any year. The page excludes visiting, intercalating and external students, though its table seems to admit visiting Turkish medical students to the medical bursary.
- Open to first-years
- Only students of that university
- Most schemes are open in any subject. The medical bursary is only for third-year MBBS students, the Engineering and Natural Sciences awards are for projects hosted in those faculties, and the Sustainability award needs a sustainability project.
- Parallel restricted cohort: “additional UROP bursaries to students of Black heritage with Home fee status at Imperial College”
- Encouraged only: “keen to receive applications for these bursaries from women, disabled, and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates”
