UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology in memory of renowned neurologist James Samuel Risien Russel

We are delighted to announce three partial fees only scholarships worth £4000 each for Home fee paying students (see word document for eligibility requirements). The scholarship programme is to support students from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups. Preference will be given to people from Black British background, as they are currently under-represented at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology.

James Samuel Risien Russell (1863 - 1939) was appointed resident medical officer at the National Hospital (1888) and was one of the first black physicians to be appointed at the National.

The scholarship is offered on the basis of academic merit. The scholarships are only available to students who have applied to study one of the eligible degree programmes.
