Applicants must be ordinarily resident in the UK and commencing undergraduate study in September 2023. The scholarship is tenable for the duration of your programme of study, subject to satisfactory progression. There are two scholarships available for students studying any degree programme and four scholarships available for students studying a degree programme within the Faculty of Science and Engineering.
