The Denys Holland Scholarship aims to support undergraduate
students from any country, who without the support of the scholarship would be
unable to secure the funding required to study at UCL, and whom can demonstrate
their intention to make full use of the activities offered by UCL and the
Student Union.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants should be:
- holding
a valid UCL Student Number or UCAS Application Number
- holding
an offer of admission to UCL for full-time undergraduate study
commencing in September 2018, in any department;
- in
financial need;
- able
to demonstrate that they have broad interests and intend to be actively
involved in and contribute to the life of the university;
- preferably
aged 25 or below at the time of commencing their studies.
Selection criteria
The scholarship is awarded on the basis of financial need,
subject to applicants demonstrating their intention to play a full part in
extracurricular activities of UCL and the Students Union.
Value: benefits and duration
The scholarship is worth £9,000 per year for three
years, subject to satisfactory academic progress and scholars may choose to use
all or part of the scholarship to cover fees. Any remainder is paid to the
scholar as a maintenance award.
The scholarship may be held alongside other grants,
bursaries, awards or scholarships, provided annual total funding does not
exceed the cost of fees plus a reasonable sum for maintenance in any one year
(as determined by UCL).
Applications deadline and procedure
The deadline for Denys Holland applications is: Friday,
6 July 2018 at 5pm (UK time).
