Scott Polar Scholarship

The Scott Polar Research Institute offers a Scott Polar Scholarship to one outstanding applicant for the MPhil in Polar Studies. The award has been funded through the tireless fundraising activities of the Friends of the Scott Polar Research Institute, particularly during their campaign to mark the Centenary of the Institute in 2020, and by other generous bequests and gifts to the Institute. The scholarship is valued at £14,574 annually and covers home fees for the duration of the course. By applying for the MPhil in Polar Studies, applicants are automatically entered into the competition for this award, as long as their application is received by the deadline. The Scott Polar Scholarship may be awarded to an exceptional applicant not in receipt of funding from another university or external source, with selection based on academic merit.
