Need Help Financing Your UKCAT/BMAT Prep Course?
We know that it can be difficult for students to save up for a Kaplan UKCAT or BMAT course.
Due to this, we offer a Scholarship Programme for talented and gifted students who are unable to fund a place on the course through other means.
Each free place is worth up to £299. Kaplan will also make a contribution towards travel costs of up to £50, for students who live more than one hour away from the course venue (most courses are held in London, however numerous nationwide locations are also available). Please see the below application procedure for details.
UKCAT / BMAT Scholarship Application Procedure
The applicant must:
- Complete an application form, giving personal and contact details and chosen course code and dates* (see course schedule for details). Candidates must then have their school stamp the completed application form.
- The student must provide a typed personal statement of application (up to a maximum of one side of A4 paper) stating why they wish to study their chosen topic at degree level, and why this scholarship would benefit them.
- Provide a letter of recommendation from their school on school letterhead, which confirms that the applicant meets the following criteria, and which provides any other information the school considers relevant to consideration of the student for a scholarship.
