Eliahou Dangoor Scholarships in Science, Engineering and Mathematics

The Eliahou Dangoor Scholarships, funded by a donation from a Queen Mary alumnus, have been created to provide talented students with the opportunity to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics subjects at the leading universities in the United Kingdom.

Thanks to a generous £3 million donation from Dr Naim Dangoor, this scholarship will assist students to study vital science and maths-based subjects at the UK’s leading research-intensive universities.

Queen Mary is especially pleased to participate in this scheme as Dr Naim Dangoor studied Engineering at Queen Mary in the 1930s. Queen Mary will provide matched funding to increase the number of scholarships available at the College to 33 in total.

Dr Dangoor has said that this scholarship, named in honour of his father Eliahou Dangoor, is his way of thanking the country that gave him refuge after he left Iraq in the 1960s. It is hoped that this ambitious scheme will encourage more young people to consider studying STEM subjects at one of the country’s leading universities.

How the Scholarships Will Work

Each of the 33 scholarships offered at Queen Mary will be worth £1,000, payable for one year in the first year of study only, or £500 for part-time students.

Students applying for science, technology, engineering and mathematics degree programmes and who are home fees status will be eligible. A complete list of eligible degree programmes can be found below.

The scholarships awarded will be based on academic merit and will be aimed at students who might not otherwise be able to take up their places on degree programmes.

Applicants to Queen Mary for the degree programmes listed need not make separate application for the Eliahou Dangoor Scholarships: they will be automatically considered.
