not need to apply for the scholarship. Candidates must have applied for
admission to UCL for degree study at graduate level to be considered for an
award.
Each
Academic Department must make their nominations for the awards by 28
March 2014 and so it is recommended that you apply for admission as
early as possible.

are awarded on the basis of academic excellence, achievement and potential.

of ordinary residence.
