The Gent-Rust Scholarships

Application guidelines

You must provide a supporting statement of no more than 400 words, which should include:

• academic achievements and other activities you are particularly proud of and why these really matter to you
• why have you chosen to do the degree you have applied for
• your future aspirations and how the scholarship will help you achieve these and contribute to society
• from a financial standpoint, what impact this scholarship would have on your education
• any special personal or family circumstances affecting your need for financial assistance.

It is expected that you would not have the means to undertake the proposed course of study without this scholarship. You will need to demonstrate this in your application.

The strength of your previous academic background will also be considered. This will be assessed via the documents submitted as part of your degree application.

A minimum of one scholarship is available to full or part-time students from the UK applying for an MSc degree.

Your previous academic background will also be considered, and will be assessed from your degree application. Considerable importance is also attached to what you've done in and what you hope to do in areas outside your field of study, so you're advised to include this in your scholarship application.
