Stoneygate Scholarship

The Stoneygate Scholarship Award has been made possible thanks to generous philanthropic donations from the Stoneygate Trust. The scholarship is designed to help academically able students who have faced barriers to attending university. Three Stoneygate Scholarships are available this year. Each successful applicant will be awarded an annual £3,000 scholarship per year for a maximum of three years. The scholarship is intended for students who have been permanently resident in the UK for the past three years in an area of low participation in higher education (POLAR 4, Quintile 1), or in an area of socio-economic deprivation (IMD Decile 1-2), and who have a household income of £25,000 or below. Applicants must be in receipt of an offer from the University of Leicester to study their first undergraduate degree course starting in September 2025, studying full time and campus based, assessed for fee status as a 'Home' student, and achieve at least 128 UCAS tariff points (e.g., ABB in A Levels or equivalent). The application requires a personal statement of up to 350 words.
