Scholarship opportunity for young person in Allerdale and Copeland

Dr Kate Granger Scholarship

A scholarship available each year for one Cumbrian student, The Dr Kate Granger Scholarship, offered jointly by UCLan and the North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The scholarship will cover all tuition fees for the duration of the 5 year programme and clinical placement costs in the respective Trusts, plus a bursary for subsistence which will be equal to the maximum amount of subsistence allowance that the Student would be entitled to if they were to borrow from the Student Loans Company. The latter will be means tested as part of the UCLan's MBBS UK Scholarship application process.

Scholarship students will be taught alongside the MBBS cohort throughout the 5 year programme, commencing at the Preston campus.

The successful applicants will ideally be resident in Copeland or Allerdale. If no successful applicant from Copeland or Allerdale is eligible then students from the wider Cumbria region will be considered.

We particularly welcome applications from widening participation students and those who may have faced barriers to HE.
