About This Opportunity
The BP Finance Scholarship is offered by bp to Queen Mary University of London students. This scholarship provides fully funded university education including tuition fees and a living expenses allowance equivalent to £25,000 per academic year for three years. The scholarship is specifically designed for Black heritage students from UK home backgrounds who are pursuing undergraduate degrees in Economics, Finance, Business Management, or related fields within the School of Economics and Finance or the School of Business and Management. In addition to financial support, scholarship recipients benefit from comprehensive professional development opportunities through bp engagement events. These include insight days, employability skills sessions, mentorship from senior finance professionals at bp, and a buddy system with current finance graduates. Recipients also receive fast-track access to the final stage of bp internship applications during their penultimate year. The scholarship covers three taught years of study, making it suitable for standard three-year programmes as well as four-year programmes that include a year in industry or abroad (though funding applies only to the three taught years). Students must demonstrate academic excellence and submit a 1,000-word essay discussing ways to align the financial system with environmental sustainability as part of the application process.
