Eligibility

You can apply for this scholarship if you are a student and national of the Americas (North, Central, South or Caribbean) who wants to undertake doctoral study at the University of Bath. The research can be in any discipline.

You must have the support of a suitable member of academic staff at the University of Bath who would be willing to supervise you.

You will need to be able to demonstrate exceptional academic merit and/or potential.

Students who are currently studying a PhD programme either at the University of Bath or elsewhere are not eligible to apply for this funding.

If English is not your first language, you must also meet our English language entry requirement before the published application deadline. An exception will be made if you are currently in your final year of studies at a UK-based higher education institution and are due to graduate at the end of the 2024/25 academic year. In this case, entry to the University of Bath would be conditional upon the successful completion of your current course, and this would also count as evidence of English-language proficiency.

You must satisfy all visa and immigration requirements.
