The Scholarship Supported By The Marks Family Charitable Trust

The scholarships supported by the Marks Family Charitable Trust are open to students embarking on a postgraduate degree programme (Masters or Doctorate). Candidates must be able to demonstrate how their chosen degree will make a valuable contribution to society, and only candidates with proven academic excellence will be considered. The scholarships will cover 'home' tuition fees up to £9,500 per year. Applicants will need to demonstrate that they can cover their living costs whilst at university. The scholarships are awarded to students who have an asylum seeking background, and people who are not eligible for student finance are prioritised. The trust will assist successful candidates to negotiate home fees from their chosen university, and the final award of a Marks Scholarship will be dependent upon receiving a 'home' tuition fee offer.
