Become a Royal Holloway scholar and get help paying for your studies.

We have a great range of scholarships for new undergraduate and postgraduate students, offering either cash awards or a reduction on tuition fees.  

Scholarships are awarded competitively, usually based on an application statement and academic achievements, and we also offer scholarships aimed specifically at underrepresented groups in higher education. You can apply for as many as you are eligible for.

Please note, competitive scholarships are only available for courses which start in September. We do not currently have any scholarships available for courses which start in January. 

If you have any questions, check out our FAQs.

We also provide bursaries for eligible students while other potential funding includes external scholarships and studentships for research students.
