Black, Arab and Mature Students Bursary

The University of Essex is offering a £500 bursary to black, Arab or mature students progressing from undergraduate study at the University of Essex, to a postgraduate Masters course in academic year 2022-23 and 2023-24. This applies whether progressing directly or following a gap in study. Students must also be self-funding all of their tuition fee. These scholarships are restricted to students who are entirely self-funded. Students must have an ethnic origin of Black or Arab or have been classed as a mature student at undergraduate level (students who start their undergraduate degree at 21 or over). The award is available to students starting an eligible postgraduate Masters course in academic year 2023-24, who have previously completed their undergraduate studies at the University of Essex. This applies whether progressing directly or following a gap in study. Students must register at the University of Essex in October 2023 or January 2024, for a full-time or part-time postgraduate Masters course, leading to the degree of MA, MSc, MBA, LLM, MFA, MAPH, or MRes. This bursary can be held in conjunction with one University of Essex tuition fee discount. Successful applicants should be available for promotional activities. Students receiving a repayable loan to fund their studies will be considered as self-funded.
