Access Programme Scholarship

The Access Programme Scholarship at Goldsmiths, University of London provides financial support to students who have completed or are currently enrolled on an Access to Higher Education course. This scholarship is designed to support widening participation by helping students from non-traditional educational backgrounds transition to undergraduate study. The scholarship awards £1,000 for each year of study on an undergraduate programme at Goldsmiths, with up to 15 scholarships available for the 2025 year of entry. Recipients must be eligible for Home fees, hold an offer of study on an undergraduate degree at Goldsmiths for the 2025-26 academic year, and be enrolling on their first undergraduate degree. The selection process is competitive, with applications assessed by a panel consisting of representatives from Admissions, Widening Participation, and an academic school. The panel considers both the applicant's academic record and their responses to application questions, giving equal weight to both elements and focusing on content relevance rather than writing standards.
