International Scholarships 2013/14
York St John University and the SPARK fund are pleased to announce a range of scholarships for new postgraduate international students for the 2013/14 academic year.

For the September 2013 intake, we are pleased to offer:

• One flagship ‘International SPARK Scholar’ award, offering both a full tuition fee scholarship for a Masters level student (MA, MBA, or MSc) AND a £4,000 contribution towards living costs.
• Two full tuition fee scholarships for Masters level students (MA, MBA, MSc).
• Two partial tuition fee scholarships for Masters level students (MA, MBA, MSc), equal to £4,000 each.

York St John University seeks to reward and attract talented and ambitious people, with an international outlook, to study with us on our postgraduate programmes.

Application is through submission of an application form and essay, of up to 1,500 words on the following subject:

How will completing your Master’s degree at York St John University prepare you to become a successful and influential global citizen, and how will you contribute to the internationalisation of life on the York St John University campus during your studies?

Please ensure that when preparing your essay, you write about your own experiences and ambitions, and explain why and how York St John University can help you to achieve your goals, and become a global citizen. Please also reflect on what qualities and experience you can bring with you, and what impact you might have on campus life.

Submitted applications and essays will be considered by a panel of York St John University staff, who will select the successful award winners. The decision of the panel will be final, and we cannot enter into correspondence with applicants regarding the outcome.

Scholarship applications for September 2013 are open from 01 March 2013 until 31 May 2013.
