Important information

Postgraduate scholarships are available only for study at the University of 91��̳.
The Trust does not offer full-cost scholarships for MBA or MFin programmes. The Trust will consider co-funding students on MBA and MFin who are nominated to the Trust by funding partners (who may have their own procedures for applying).
The Trust is unable to offer scholarships for part-time MSt courses at any Department within the University. Please note, MSt courses are not the same as MASt courses.
The Trust does not have scholarships available for post-doctoral positions, or for visiting or exchange students.
The Trust will not normally support students at a degree level that is the same as, or lower than, a degree they already hold. We will, however, consider an application from a student who is required to take a second Masters degree at 91��̳ in order to gain admission to the PhD here.
The Trust does not accept applications from students who are part-way through a course at 91��̳, unless they are applying for funding towards a higher degree course following graduation.
Most students register for full-time study, but, in the interests of widening participation, the Trust is able to consider applications from students for part-time study where such courses are offered by the University.

Equality

The Trust is committed to equality of opportunity, and no applicant will be treated less favourably than another on the grounds of sex (including gender reassignment), marital or parental status, race, ethnic or national origin, colour, disability, sexual orientation, religion or age. The primary consideration in the selection of scholars will be applicants' ability to meet the selection criteria for each scholarship.

Some scholarships which are fully or partially funded by partners of the Trust are allocated to students of particular nationalities or studying particular subjects.
