The £15,000 bursary is first used to cover your tuition fees. Any remaining amount after tuition is paid directly to you in three equal instalments to assist with living costs.
Q.Can I apply if I have other scholarships or funding?
Yes, the UCL Global Master's Scholarship may be held alongside other scholarships, studentships, awards, or bursaries. However, you are obligated to inform the UCL Student Funding Office immediately if you are awarded any other funding for your Master's degree studies.
Q.How is 'lower income background' defined for eligibility?
While the specific threshold for the Master's scholarship is not explicitly detailed, for the UCL Global Undergraduate Scholarship, UCL generally uses an annual household income of £42,875 or less as a guideline. Applicants slightly above this with strong evidence of financial hardship may still be considered.
