A university scholarship is a non-repayable financial award usually given to students following a competitive application process. They can also be awarded based on outstanding academic achievements or extra-curricular activities.
Student Financial Support administers a limited number of scholarships on behalf of the University. Please check eligibility criteria before applying. Opening dates and further information on future rounds will be updated as and when they become available.
This list is not exhaustive. In addition, we recommend that you contact your academic departmental office for information on any additional scholarships being run independently within your department.
