Successful candidates will be notified by letter of the outcome of their application by the beginning of April 2009. Please note due to the volume of applications received, we are unable to contact unsuccessful applicants individually or provide feedback on their applications.
Prospective applicants are asked to note that for Faculty scholarships (but not college or university awards, for which separate applications must be made) there is one application form common to all the studentships listed below; and if you complete and return that form with the relevant supporting material, you will be considered for all the awards for which you are eligible (so you won't need to complete a separate application for each of the studentships for which you wish to be considered).
