Scholarships

The prospect of managing your finances at university can seem daunting but the University of Leeds offers a comprehensive range of bursaries and scholarships, together with financial advice, to support you throughout your studies. Some schemes provide support on the basis of academic achievements while others offer support to students based on financial need or particular specialisms.
 
For full information about the University's tuition fees, bursaries and scholarships please see the Your finances page or contact ugscholarships@leeds.ac.uk if you have any questions.

Top Ten Scholarships
We have generous scholarships for students who do well in their studies while at the University of Leeds. The top 10 undergraduate students in each year will be offered scholarships of £1000 for their continued studies on their course in Leeds. Scholarships will normally be offered to the top 10 students studying for single honours School of Mathematics degrees in years 1, 2 and 3, and on a pro rata basis for Joint Honours degrees involving Mathematics.

The scholarships will be awarded after the exams in June, and paid when the student recommences their studies at the University. For students spending their third year in industry, or abroad, this means that a scholarship awarded at the end of their second year will normally be paid at the start of their fourth year. The scholarships are open to both Home/EU and international students. There is no need to make a formal application.

Excellence in Mathematics scholarships
These scholarships only apply to students paying fees at the international rate (not from the UK or EU), who apply for a single honours mathematics degree, including;

BSc Mathematics (G100)
BSc Mathematics with Finance (G1N3)
BSc Actuarial Mathematics (NG31)
BSc Mathematical Studies (G150)
BSc Mathematics and Statistics (GG13)

For entry in September 2012, Excellence in Mathematics scholarships worth £3,000 (one-off) may be offered to students with outstanding qualifications who pay fees at the international rate and make Leeds their firm choice on the UCAS system.

NCUK students will be automatically awarded an Excellence in Mathematics scholarship provided they achieve certain grades.
