The Award 

Applications for the 2023/24 academic year are now closed. Enrolment of new HEC scholars has been paused until January 2024 at the earliest. Please contact your proposed supervisor for more information. 

The jointly funded scholarships will cover the tuition fees and provide a stipend of £1,015/month to contribute towards the scholar’s living costs. 

Please note that this stipend will not cover living costs in full and does not meet the level of financial support necessary to secure a UK visa (currently £1,334/month). You will therefore need to secure additional funding in order to be able to take up your studies at Queen Mary. For further details of the requirements set out by UK Visas and Immigration, please see-https://www.welfare.qmul.ac.uk/guides/student-funds/
