Holbeck Scholarship

These scholarships are open to pupils from schools and colleges in the Yorkshire and Humber region, who are applying to a UK university (not just York) for entry in September 2018. 

The scholarships are worth a one-off payment of £1,250 in Year 1 and are funded by the Holbeck Charitable Trust, in partnership with the Excellence Hub for Yorkshire and Humber. 

They are aimed at talented students who may have faced challenging circumstances (social, personal or educational) and have successfully applied to university, perhaps in the face of adversity.

The scholarships are not intended to fund any particular aspect of the student's university life. They should instead be viewed as a reward for a student's hard work, commitment and successful progression to university. 
The application process is competitive with a limited number of scholarships available.

The scholarships are administered by University of York, but eligible students could be applying to attend any higher education institution in the UK.
