Eligibility criteria

All applications for the scholarship will be assessed against the following criteria:

• Academic merit
• Applicants are expected to be women
• Intention to pursue further study in Mathematics (MSc or MSci for undergraduates and PhD for MSc students).
• Students should be 'good citizens'. For example, applications from students who have volunteered to help other students in school with academic work, have served as a class representative, have helped organised activities/events for other students or have volunteered for a charity will be looked upon favourably

Woman applying to any MSc or MRes offered by the Department are welcome to apply for the scholarship.
