Eligibility for this award will be determined based on the information provided on the application
form. The discount will be applied to the applicant’s fees, at the point of enrolment, upon receipt of
their tuition fee payment form. Due to the eligibility requirements of this award, it cannot be
confirmed prior to this point and all applicants will therefore receive an offer letter detailing the full
fee for the course.
