Barbara Raw for English Access Scholarship

The Barbara Raw for English Access Scholarship provides cash awards of £6,000 for UK students studying a degree within the English department at Royal Holloway, University of London. Two scholarships are available annually for new undergraduate students with home fee status who meet specific widening access criteria. The scholarship is designed to support high-achieving students from underrepresented backgrounds who demonstrate academic excellence and have chosen to pursue English-related degrees. Applicants must have achieved or be expected to achieve high grades (previous recipients were typically predicted AAA*) and meet at least two widening access criteria or have been in care for more than three months. The scholarship aims to help students achieve their future goals while pursuing degrees in English and related subjects at one of the UK's leading universities.
