Student Bursary?

I hope someone can help me with this as I've not had a straight answer from my uni.
I have been at my Uni for 3 years and for all 3 years received the full maintenance loan, tuition loan and grant. I therefore also qualify for the bursary (around 300) a year.
The question I have is, how many times do you get the bursary?
Is it every year you attend (in my case 3) or for every course (I have attended 2 courses).

You should get it each year you meet the qualifying criteria (for example receive the full maintanence grant and pay full tuition fees).
Your university's website should have details on their qualifying criteria, how it's assessed and how it's administered.0 -

Do you mean that you've resat a year? I'm not sure that you'd get it in those circumstances.0 -
Thanks for the quick response
Basically the first year was a foundation course (a Higher Diploma)
while I am now coming to the end of my 2 year Degree, making that 3 years at the uni.
EDIT: Just to clarify my uni isn't the best at letting their students know about bursarys, nothing is on the website about it
So I should be getting 900?0 -

Depends on your university. Where are you studying?
Have you checked your student finance application to ensure that you ticked the box saying that SFE can share your financial information with your university? If you've not given this permission I don't think you're eligible for the bursary as the information is used by the university to assess for the bursary0 -
I'm studying at The Academy of Contemporary Music and they hand out the minimum amount of about 300 no more.
I have ticked the box, as I was already receiving it for the first year when my dad paid for my fees (lucky me!).
It seems I didn't receive my monies for my last 2 years...have sent an e-mail to the finance people, hope to have some good news by the end of the week
Again, thank you all for your help!0
