Awards Criteria
The School’s award panel will meet in July 2012 to consider all eligible scholarship applications received by the due date.

The School will assess all applications against the following criteria:

  • Personal achievements - evidence of personal achievements in your life to date which indicate your ability to contribute to the wider life of the University community during your studies and the professional community that you will be joining on graduation.
  • In the event that 2 applications are scored identically and only one award is available, the panel will award the scholarship to the first application received, using the date of receipt in the University as the relevant date.

Notification and Acceptance

  • Decisions will be announced by Friday 27 July 2012.
  • Successful applicants will be informed in the first instance by email.
  • Applicants will be required to respond by email to accept the offer. A formal scholarship offer letter will then be issued and despatched by post. Failure to accept the offer will lead to the scholarship offer being withdrawn and offered to an alternative applicant.

Appeals Process
All decisions on scholarship applications will be made by the School’s Scholarship Panel. All decisions are final and we cannot enter into correspondence with unsuccessful applicants. There are no grounds for appeal against an unsuccessful application with the following exception:

  • Where there is evidence of alleged improper conduct or irregular procedure during the scholarship awards process.

If you wish to appeal on the above ground, you should write in the first instance to the Head of School, outlining your evidence of alleged improper conduct or irregular procedure during the awards process. The Head of School will respond to you within 20 working days.
