IMESS SCHOLARSHIPS
In 2012/13 we anticipate offering no fewer than eight IMESS scholarships to support both Category A and Category B students.
Category A scholarships can be awarded to students satisfying the Category A criteria: who come from a country other than an eligible applicant country (EU member-states and EEA-EFTA states) and who are not residents nor have carried out their main activity (studies, work, etc.) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in one of these countries.
Category B scholarships can be awarded to any students who do not fulfil the Category A criteria defined above (for more detials, see Category B criteria).
The scholarship therefore covers the fees, associated with attendance at two of Europe's leading universities, but does NOT cover all of the costs associated with attending the Programme. Rather, participants will need some additional source of funding to cover the full costs associated with accommodation, food, travel and books. For example, in year one (all students are in London) it is estimated that the average living costs for a single graduate student for an academic year are approximately €12,000. Living costs in year 2 vary.
The next IMESS Scholarship application deadline is 27 April 2012 (Category A and B). UCL Registry must have received your full application by no later than this date.
For full details on 'how to apply' please refer to the Application Process page of this website.
