How we award

There are 5 stages in the shortlisting process.   

  1. We check that you meet the eligibility criteria and score and rank the academic qualifications listed on your postgraduate application form.
  2. We shortlist candidates to recognise global talent and support a diverse university community, including applicants from least developed, low-income and lower middle-income countries.
  3. We score and rank the supporting statement included in your application.
  4. We shortlist candidates from across the School of Humanities and Winchester School of Art to recognise academic excellence across all subject areas.
  5. A panel chaired by the Dean of Faculty of Arts and Humanities, or their nominated representative, decides who receives the scholarships.

This is a competitive process, and not all applications will be successful.

The scholarship panel's decision is final. We do not provide feedback on applications or decisions.

If your application is successful, you will receive a confirmation email and award letter.
