Awards and scholarships
View the wide range of awards, scholarships and prizes available to students in the Faculty of Law, and past winners.
Every year, the Law School awards prizes and scholarships to students in recognition of their hard work and talents. Many of the prizes are in the name of earlier alumni or staff and, in this way, the outstanding qualities of both the past and present are interwoven.
Visit the scholarships website for details of current scholarships and prizes, application forms and deadlines. There are two sections to visit. Scholarships page and Prizes page.
Scholars have been allocated to all the 2022/23 summer scholarships. Summer Scholarships will open in the second half of 2023. Please check back then to apply.
