Eligibility

The scholarship will be awarded on the basis of academic merit and the expected benefits to the student. To be considered for the scholarship, an applicant must already have been offered and accepted a place on the MSc in Carbon Finance. The scholarship will be put towards the applicant’s programme fee and does not provide any contribution to living costs.

Part-funding may be provided where the applicant has other scholarship part-funding, such that the combined funding does not exceed the programme fee. Candidates who already hold full sponsorship are not eligible.

Applicants should be aware that the scholarship does not cover the entire programme fee, and the successful applicant will be required to pay the standard programme deposit of £1,500 within 28 days of receiving their offer to secure their place on the programme.

How to apply

Applicants should email [email protected], attaching a 1,000 word essay explaining why they feel they should be awarded the scholarship, and how it will benefit them.

Deadline for receipt of essay: 26 April 2013

A selection committee will meet in May 2013, and the successful candidate will be informed soon afterwards.
