Application Procedure
While you do not need to have received an offer of admission to be eligible for this scholarship, you will need to have your fee status confirmed by UCL Admissions. For some students, this happens shortly after you apply to the university, but for many, this will not happen until just before an offer of admission is made. If you are unable to access the scholarship application form, you may need to wait until UCL has decided whether to make you an admission offer.
