How the scholarships are awarded
Each School selects a shortlist of applicants who they wish to recommend for the award. The University of Leeds Taught Scholarship Selection Panel then meets to consider the shortlists and select the successful applicants and reserves.
Unsuccessful applicants can expect to be notified of the application outcome approximately 4 weeks after the application closing date. Shortlisted applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application within 10 weeks of the application closing date.
The University will use the data provided in the application form for internal selection and statistical purposes.
