£2m funds made available for ULaw students

More than £2m in scholarship and bursaries funds are up for grabs for the next academic year (2020/21) at the University of Law (ULaw)

The record amount makes ULaw’s scholarships and bursaries among the highest in any UK law school.

Scholarships on offer, awarded on the bases of merit and need, include the full-fee Set for Success Scholarships (endorsed by alumni Sadiq Khan, London Mayor, and Baroness Sayeeda Warsi), and the Widening Access Award (endorsed by Lord Blunkett), which aims to make courses accessible to students whose financial circumstances may otherwise prevent them from completing their studies. The Nottingham Postgraduate Award offers all postgraduate students studying in September 2020 in Nottingham £1,000 discount on their course fees.

Professor Andrea Nollent, Vice-Chancellor and CEO of ULaw, said: ‘We’ve seen first-hand how crucial it is to make education, business and law accessible to all walks of life.

‘We strive for diversity in these fields and believe that our scholarships enable this. Our extensive list of scholarships and bursaries are designed to help ambitious, talented students to achieve their goal of a successful career in business or law.’
