Funding Opportunities
University of Exeter Chapel Choir Choral Scholarships
The University of Exeter Chapel Choir offers choral scholarships to students studying at the Exeter campuses (Streatham and/or St Luke's). These scholarships support students who sing in the Chapel Choir throughout the academic year, participating in regular services, special services, concerts, and other events. The scholarship provides financial support for choristers who commit to the choir's activities. The full scholarship is comprised of two components: a base payment of £300 given as two instalments during the academic year, plus an additional £600 awarded to choristers who participate in the University's graduation ceremonies in winter and summer. The total value of a full choral scholarship is £900 for the 2024-25 academic year. Choristers may also receive additional payment opportunities through the choir's concerts and special events such as weddings. For trips that involve overnight stays, accommodation is provided free of charge. This opportunity is open to all University of Exeter students in any year of study, including both undergraduates and postgraduates, with no age limit. Mature students are encouraged to apply. Membership in the Chapel Choir is determined entirely by a successful audition. Students do not need to be religious or people of faith to participate; they are simply asked to be respectful of the places of worship in which they sing.

Carolyn and Andrew Trevorrow Memorial Fund Travel Bursaries
A small number of travel bursaries are available to students of all degree programmes at the Penryn and Truro Campus to help with the costs of residential field courses (excluding research/dissertation trips). In the first instance, preference will be given to students who were born and who currently reside in Cornwall, and/or meet Widening Participation criteria. Depending on numbers of applications, others may also be considered. The travel bursary can be used towards the costs of field courses, including travel such as flights or train tickets, accommodation during the field course or while traveling, visas, vaccinations, food whilst traveling and on the field course, and equipment needed for the field course. After the field course, successful applicants must submit a short written report (roughly 300-500 words) about the field course experience including photographs. These reports will be read by Ann Trevorrow to understand the impact her generous donation has had for the successful students. There are 10 awards available of £150 each for the whole academic year. Funds are allocated on a first come, first served basis, and the fund closes for applications when it has all been allocated.
Sanctuary Scholarship
The Sanctuary Scholarship scheme enables individuals seeking asylum and refugees who are not able to access student finance to study at the University of Exeter. The scholarship provides comprehensive support for eligible students pursuing full-time undergraduate degree programmes or doctorate level programmes (PhD, EngD, EdD, MPhil). Applications are considered from individuals who have submitted asylum claims, been granted Limited Leave to Remain, awarded Humanitarian Protection or Refugee status, or who have left care in the UK and are assessed as international for fee purposes. The scholarship is designed to remove financial barriers for sanctuary seekers who cannot access traditional student finance options. For undergraduate students, the scholarship provides a full tuition fee waiver plus a grant for living costs of £11,500 per year, along with an Access to Exeter Bursary of £2,300 per year. For doctorate students, the support is more substantial, with a full tuition fee waiver plus an annual living cost grant of £20,780. STEM doctoral students receive an additional research allowance of £5,000 per year for up to 3.5 years, while Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (HASS) doctoral students receive a research allowance of £750 per year for up to 3 years. The University offers up to 3 scholarships annually, with application deadlines in April and May 2026, with outcomes communicated in early June. The scholarship is not available for BMBS Medicine programmes due to NHS caps, or for taught or research Masters programmes. Applicants must meet academic requirements for their chosen programme and demonstrate eligible immigration status through Home Office documentation.
