Any scholarships not allocated at that time, will be given on a first come basis to students applying through Clearing or whose results are received late. Successful students will be informed by email or letter by the end of August.
Eligibility
Eligibility criteria are reviewed annually.
To be eligible for consideration of a Mathematical Sciences Scholarship, a student must:
