St Mary’s Scholarships

St Mary’s will be offering scholarships of up to £6,000 paid over three years to students from families with a household income of under £25,000, and who can meet the additional criteria.

Successful applicants studying on a part-time course will receive a cash award on a pro-rata to their FTE. For example, students studying 60 credits of an undergraduate degree with a tuition fee liability of £4,500 would be eligible for an award of £1,500 in year one, £1,000 in year two and £500 in year three.

If the number of applications exceeds the number of scholarships to be awarded, priority will be given to students who fulfil the highest number of additional criteria and have the lowest assessed household income.

The application closing date is Monday 1st August 2016.
