Our panels will sit in September and early November to review scholarship applications. Applications of a high quality will be offered £10,000 as a tuition fee discount. If you are successful, you will be informed shortly after the panel has met and you will be asked to pay your tuition fee deposit within two weeks of receiving the outcome email to retain the scholarship. If the deposit is not received within this timeframe the scholarship may be offered to another student.
