How to apply

To apply for this scholarship, please download the research scholarship application form and return it to the College of Science with the following:

• Academic References – all scholarship applications require two supporting references to be submitted. Please ensure that your chosen referees are aware of the funding deadline, as their references form a vital part of the evaluation process. Please either include these with your scholarship application or ask your referees to send them directly to science-scholarships@swansea.ac.uk
• Academic Transcripts and Degree Certificates – academic transcripts and degree certificates must be submitted along with the scholarship application by the funding deadline. We will be using these to verify your academic qualifications.
• CV – please include a recent CV
• Candidates should use the ‘Supplementary Personal Statement’ section of the application form to explain why the award they are applying for particularly matches their skills and experience and how they would choose to develop the project. Candidates are also required to identify the supervisor associated with their project explicitly in their application.

Please include the project code and title in your email subject header, eg: “DTC BIO 1 - Animal colouration in 3-D PhD scholarship application”.
