Sacred Heart Scholarship

The University of Roehampton and the Society of the Sacred Heart have established a scholarship fund to encourage postgraduate studies and research in areas which promote international understanding and which enable candidates to work more effectively in their communities upon completion of their studies.

The scholarships are available to academically excellent students from both within and outside the UK to follow a programme of study at the University of Roehampton.

Candidates in any discipline are encouraged to apply.

The Scholarship will usually consist of the tuition fee and free or subsidised accommodation on the University of Roehampton campus.

General conditions

The main criterion for the award is academic excellence. However, excellence in other areas of the candidate’s past work or volunteer experience may also be considered. The awarding Panel will also take financial need or other compelling circumstances into account.

Scholarships for taught masters and taught doctorate programmes will be for the duration of the course, while MPhil and PhD scholarships will be for a maximum of 3 years for full-time students or 5 years for part-time students.
Scholarships are awarded subject to acceptance for admission to a programme of study or research at Roehampton University and the requirements of any regulations that pertain to this.

• are intending to pursue postgraduate studies at the University of Roehampton
• have an excellent academic record or equivalent life experience
• have a commitment to contributing to the wider community
• may otherwise be unable to pursue their studies
