Travel bursary
Travelling 60 miles or more? We’ll chip in towards your travel costs
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to get the real Norwich experience. So, if you’re travelling 60 miles or more for an open day, a portfolio review, an audition, or an applicant day, we’ll pay a chunk of your travel costs, so you get to enjoy your journey to see us that little bit more.
The travel bursary amount depends on the distance travelled to the University and is calculated by Norwich University of the Arts. The amount awarded will be based on the shortest route from your registered home postcode to our city campus (postcode NR3 3FF).
| Distance from the University | Amount |
|---|---|
| 60 – 99 miles | £25 |
| 100 – 149 miles | £50 |
| 150 miles or more | £75 |
How to claim
We’ll email you after the event with details of how to claim your travel grant. You will be asked to supply proof of address. Money will be paid via secure electronic payment. Please be aware that no money will be paid on the day you visit.
