Nearly 20 new scholarships have been made available to students who show a high academic achievement, returning alumni and students wishing to undertake student engagement roles within the University.
New and current students who have demonstrated high academic results will be able to apply for one of six scholarships (worth £1,500). St Mary’s alumni, who wish to continue their studies at the University could be eligible for one of 11 postgraduate scholarships, each worth between £1,500 and £3,000.

Head of St Mary’s International Office Mariann Baker said, “We are finding that an increasing number of students wish to continue their studies with us after finishing their undergraduate degree, recognising our excellence in teaching and the pastoral support that we offer. We are therefore delighted to be able to offer additional scholarships to international students.”
