The scholarship is open to Home students from one of nine under-represented background(s) who intend to study on one of the nine eligible MSc degrees below. This includes over 100 students from under-represented groups, and will prioritise applicants from under-represented groups, particularly women, Black students, disabled students, and those from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Successful awardees will be supported by a £10,000 cash-payment scholarship as well as additional support.

Due to the high volume of applications, the awards will be allocated in three rounds:

  • The deadline for round one applications closed 23:59 (UK time) on Sunday 31 March 2024.
  • The deadline for round two applications closed 23:59 (UK time) on Sunday 30 June 2024.

In addition to the above deadlines, scholarship applications for the March 2025 intake of MSc Bioinformatics (Online) will have a deadline of 23:59 (UK time) on Friday 7 February 2025.

If you are unsuccessful in one round, your application will automatically be carried over to the next round: you do not need to re-apply.
