Helen Sharp Undergraduate Scholarship in Modern Languages

The Helen Sharp Undergraduate Scholarship in Modern Languages is a generous scholarship funded by Durham University alumna Helen Sharp (née Potts) to support talented students from low-income backgrounds pursuing undergraduate studies in Modern Languages and Cultures. The scholarship provides financial assistance of up to £4,000 per annum for up to four years to help cover tuition, living costs, and other associated costs of study.
