It will be paid in two instalments at the beginning of each semester (October and January) and the second payment will be subject to satisfactory academic performance. candidates will receive priority cosideration if they also apply for a University of Bath scholarship, which could result in a further £3000 scholarship.

How do I apply? For applicants planning to start at Bath in 2009

First of all you need to have formally accepted an offer from us. The offer can be unconditional or conditional. Then, you need to complete the application form and send it to the address on the form before 30 June 2009. You are strongly advised to apply before 30 June.

How does the university choose the candidates?

Of course, all our scholarship holders are chosen for their academic excellence, and in this case, we will look at leadership potential as part of the selection criteria. We will use the information you provide in the separate scholarship application form to judge your application together with your original course application. Financial circumstances are not taken into account for these awards.

Do I need to have firmly accepted an offer from Bath in order to be considered for a scholarship?

Yes. Remember that you can formally accept any offer: conditional or unconditional.

What happens if I have a conditional offer?

If you have a conditional offer, then of course any scholarship offer will also be conditional until you have achieved the grades that you need for entry to Bath.

Can I have more than one scholarship?

If you already have a partial scholarship from another organisation, you can combine this scholarship with a Steve Huckvale scholarship.

What happens if my financial situation changes?

If your financial situation changes, then the University reserves the right to reconsider the award. For example: in the case that you were awarded a full fee scholarship from another organisation after you had been shortlisted for this scholarship.

When do I find out the results?

We will notify the successful candidates by 30 July 2009 at the latest.
