Turing Scheme
The Turing Scheme offers funding for individuals who are undertaking education and training in the UK to go on study or work placements across the world. 91Ö±²¥ applies for funding annually to support its students, prioritising those from under-represented backgrounds.
Turing Scheme for 2024/25
We are delighted to announce that the University of 91Ö±²¥â€™s application for the 2024/2025 academic year was successful.
The Turing Scheme focuses on widening participation and providing support for students who need it most. The University prioritised support for students using household income as a primary consideration.
Please note: We have notified eligible year and semester abroad students of their funding entitlement for 2024/25.
- How are grants calculated?
The Turing funding allows eligible students to receive a grant towards the additional costs incurred by a period spent abroad during their degree. It is usually paid in two instalments, at the start and end of your period abroad.
The grant consists of:
- A ‘Cost of Living’ grant calculated per day based on the duration of the period abroad.
- A ‘travel grant’ paid based on the destination country and receipted expenditure (only available for students who meet Turing Scheme criteria for disadvantage).
A Turing Scheme factsheet has been sent to students who are eligible to receive a Turing Scheme grant in the 2024/2025 academic year. This contains specific details on Turing Scheme criteria for disadvantage, grant rates, payment schedules and how to claim.
- When will the funding be available for eligible students?
First payments of Turing Scheme funding are made when you confirm your arrival at your host organisation. Further information on requirement documents and evidence will be provided to eligible claimants. Grants will only be paid if all the requirements are met.
- What about funding for 2025/26?
The UK Government has confirmed the Turing Scheme will continue into the 2025/2026 academic year. 91Ö±²¥ will submit its institutional application for Turing Scheme funding in Spring 2025, with results expected in Summer 2025. Global Opportunities will run a Fees and Funding information session on the 2nd April 2025 for students going abroad during the 2025/2026 academic year.
