TOTUS Student Scholarship

The TOTUS Student Scholarship is offered by the University of Plymouth for students intending to study undergraduate Biological Sciences, Marine Biology or Ocean Sciences degrees. With thanks to TOTUS Engineering, the University provides one scholarship per year. The recipient will receive £500 per year for three years (total £1,500) of their undergraduate course (excluding placement year) to help with their studies. This scholarship is specifically designed to support students from underrepresented backgrounds who fulfill at least one of several eligibility criteria including low family income (household income less than £25,000 per year), living in TUNDRA areas where fewer people typically go to university, being a looked-after young person or care leaver, being a carer for a family member or friend, or being estranged from parents. The scholarship aims to increase access to higher education in marine and biological sciences for students facing socioeconomic barriers. Eligible courses span three areas: Biological Sciences (including Biological Sciences, Ecology and Conservation, and Zoology), Marine Biology (including Marine Biology, Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology, Marine Biology and Oceanography, and Marine Conservation), and Ocean Sciences (including Ocean Science, Ocean Exploration and Surveying, and Ocean Science and Marine Conservation).
