Queen Mary Annual Fund Scholarship

The Queen Mary Annual Fund Scholarship is a means-tested bursary specifically designed to support undergraduate students from specific local London boroughs or alumni of a particular sixth form institution. This financial award of £1,250 is available to first-year undergraduate students enrolling in September 2026 within the Faculty of Science and Engineering or the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Queen Mary University of London. To qualify for this scholarship, applicants must be permanent residents (for at least three years) in the City of London, the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, the London Borough of Newham, or the London Borough of Hackney. Alternatively, students who attended the Drapers' Academy Sixth Form in the London Borough of Havering are also eligible. The scholarship is means-tested, requiring students to have a household income of £42,875 or less as assessed by Student Finance England (SFE). Applicants must request a full income assessment from SFE when applying for student finance, though taking out loans is not mandatory. Application forms for the scholarship will become available after September 2026 enrolment, and students must submit an application to be considered for one of the available Queen Mary Annual Fund scholarships.
