• come from a lower income background*;
• AND have submitted an admission application for a full-time Master’s degree at UCL in 2023/24.  Please note: Distance-learning options are not eligible for this fund; students must be coming to the UK to attend UCL in person.

• The UCL Global Masters Scholarship may be held alongside other scholarships, studentships, awards, or bursaries. The amount of the UCL award may be adjusted depending on the total value of other funds received by the student.
• Scholarship recipients are obliged to inform the UCL Student Funding Office immediately of any other funding they are awarded towards their UCL Master’s degree studies, before or subsequent to the UCL Global Masters Scholarship being awarded.
