Derek Shuttleworth Educational Trust Scholarship

The Derek Shuttleworth Educational Trust Scholarship is a means-tested scholarship specifically for permanent residents in the London Borough of Hackney who have lived there for at least three years. The scholarship provides £1,000 per year for three years to support undergraduate students attending Queen Mary University of London. For 2026/27 entry, one scholarship will be available, subject to confirmation. Applicants must have enrolled in September 2026 and be in the first year of their course at Queen Mary University of London. Eligibility requires being a permanent resident in the London Borough of Hackney for at least three years prior to application. Additionally, applicants must be assessed by Student Finance England (SFE) as having a household income of £42,875 or less. Students do not need to take out loans to be eligible, but they must request a full income assessment by SFE when applying for student finance so that the household income figure can be verified.
