Documents you will need

No separate application documents; the University application for admission with its funding section is the application.

How selection works

Awards are based on academic merit and financial need, plus any scholarship-specific criteria. Awards are made mainly in February and March, with partner-funded awards often decided April to June (some involve interviews). Untaken awards are reallocated until the end of July. Applicants not contacted by the end of July should assume they were unsuccessful; unsuccessful applicants are not notified and receive no feedback.
