Southampton MA Holocaust Scholarships

This is a competitive process and not all applications will be successful.

There are 3 stages to the shortlisting process:

• We check that you meet the eligibility criteria
• We review your Postgraduate application and scholarship application
• A panel, chaired by the Director of the Parkes Institute, will decide on who gets the scholarships

The decision of the scholarship panel is final.

Send a 500-word personal statement explaining:

• why you want to study at the Parkes Institute
• your research interests
• your professional experience and ambition
• if relevant, details of financial circumstances
