War Studies Hardship Bursary 2020-21
King’s will be offering four new annual War Studies Hardship Bursary worth £12,000 each to home students successfully applying for undergraduate entry in September 2020 in the Dept. of War Studies.
What is the War Studies Hardship Bursary ?
The War Studies Hardship Bursary was created by Dr Elaine Holoboff and Dr Tom Halverson, both War Studies alumni of King’s. Dr Holoboff and Dr Halverson valued their time studying at King’s and they would like to give back and support the next generation of students.
The scholarships are designed to offer assistance to candidates who are in need of extra financial support to undertake their degree.
Scholarships will therefore be awarded on the basis of:
- the strength of candidates’ personal statement, and
- the applicant’s financial assessment.
Applications are open to home undergraduate applicants who meet the eligibility criteria listed below.
The scholarship is worth £12,000, payable over 3 years.
This means that you will receive £4,000 in each of your first three years of study (repeat years or breaks in study will not be funded), and will be dependent upon continued satisfactory academic progress and attendance. The scholarship will be made available as a cash bursary.
