THE MARY WARD POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP FUND

(one-year, renewable)

In association with the Congregation of Jesus (http://www.congregationofjesus.org.uk/ ) donated funds up to a total of £25,000 may be awarded on a competitive basis to full-time or part-time postgraduate candidates (both existing students and new candidates in receipt of formal offers) in Catholic Theology / Catholic Studies within the Department of Theology and Religion and who are able to share regularly in the academic programme of the CCS. These funds may be awarded as a combination of one or more fixed-term Postgraduate Scholarships (full-fees) and/or one or more fixed-term Postgraduate Bursaries (partial help towards fees).  The total amount of £25,000 need not be awarded in a given year and may be split between candidates. 

Alongside academic excellence and potential, consideration will also be given to personal financial need.
