There are three scholarships handled as part of the admissions process: the AMS, the ASTS, and the E W Beth Scholarship.

Please note that only a very small number of our students will get one of these scholarships (usually two to three per year) and many deserving candidates do not. Please note, too,  that Logic Year students do not qualify for being granted a scholarship, because the Logic Year is not a degree programme.

If you wish to apply to one or more of these scholarships, please check the appropriate box in the application form and include a paragraph in your motivation letter in which you explain why you wish to be nominated for the specific scholarship.

Applicants who wish to be considered for one of these scholarships must have their applications completed by the earlier deadline of 15 January, independent of their country of origin.
