Transitional Justice Institute (TJI) Scholarship

This Scholarship is open to applications from students on either the LLM Gender, Conflict and Human Rights or the LLM Human Rights Law and Transitional Justice courses at the University. The Scholarship funding will be paid directly to the Scholar(s) to be used in support of course tuition fees or expenses associated with their studies.

The selection criteria are as follows:

Demonstration by the applicant of how studying the degree course will enable them to contribute positively to the community and
Academic excellence.

Demonstration of a potential positive contribution will receive a greater weighting than academic excellence when scoring the applications.

Applicants will be asked to provide evidence of financial need, where applicable. In the event that two applications of the same high quality are received, the selection panel will check whether either or both of the applicants meets the University's widening access and participation criteria. In the event that only one of the applicants meets the criteria, the Scholarship will be awarded to them. In the event that both applicants meet the criteria, the Scholarship will be awarded to both applicants, with the funding being divided equally.

The selection panel reserves the right not to award a Scholarship if the candidates presented do not meet the high level of academic attainment required. In such instances, that particular year's Scholarship will be reallocated to a subsequent year. The selection panel may establish a reserve list to be used if the successful applicant declines for any reason.

Students studying at the following campuses are eligible to apply for the scholarship.
