Scholarships

We have a generous package of scholarships available for postgraduate students which are awarded on the basis of academic excellence and potential and, for some of our awards, evidence of financial need. Some scholarships cover all or part of your tuition fees while others make a contribution towards the costs associated with being a postgraduate student. The majority of our scholarships are competitive; you will need to submit an online application which gives you the opportunity to explain how a scholarship could help you achieve your academic goals. There are also a number of externally-provided scholarships available which you can apply for to study at Royal Holloway. You can apply for one of our scholarships once you have received an offer to study with us. Most of our scholarships require you to apply using our online portal, where you will be able to submit an application statement, explaining why you should receive the scholarship, as well as upload any relevant information such as references or academic transcripts. Visit our website for full details of which scholarships we have available for 2022 entry and information on how and when to apply.

“I was delighted to receive the scholarship, so much so that my first reaction was a squeal of joy on reading the acceptance email! The scholarship has eased the financial pressure that comes with pursuing a Masters degree which means I can double down on my study efforts. It was an indicator to me that Royal Holloway truly recognises those with drive and a desire to succeed in their field.”
