The value of the scholarship is £4,000. This will be applied as a discount on your tuition fees (for 2019/20 this is £5,300 per year).

There are up to two scholarships available.

Apply

You must submit no more than 500 words in a Word document detailing why you think you should be considered. You should base this on previous academic achievements and/or relevant experience.
