How will I receive my Bursary Card and payments.
If you are a new student and have been awarded a Bursary from BU, you will be notified by email. The funds will be paid to you via a pre-paid card. The card will be posted to you using the term time address listed on your student record, usually in the first week of October.
The card needs to be activated online before it can be used and instructions are issued with the card.
You will also need to log in to your MyHub to confirm receipt of the card. There will be an item on the left-hand side of your 'Home' tab in myHub. It is a single link allowing you to acknowledge receipt of the card and when you click it you'll see a tick box and a 'finish' button to submit it. You'll then get a confirmation email to your BU email address.
Once your card is acknowledged as received, and activated online, funds can be loaded.
Payments will normally be loaded on the first Monday of each month from October through to June.
Please find further details, including payment dates at the Pluxee website.
