PGR Scholarship Terms and Conditions

Congratulations on obtaining an offer of funding to support your studies in the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick. Please read the terms and conditions of our offer carefully before accepting our offer.

We very much hope you choose to accept your offer.

1.1 - Recipients of a scholarship from the School of Engineering must abide at all times with the University rules and regulations, as set out in the University Calendar, available online at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/gov/calendar/Link opens in a new window.

1.2 - The offer of the award is made on the understanding that applicants are currently enrolled or will be enrolled with the University as specified in their offer for admission. All candidates will be required to re-enrol annually in line with University policy. If an applicant has been made a conditional offer for doctoral study and has conditions still outstanding by the study start date, enrolment will not be possible. Provisional enrolment will enable the student to receive the award. However, if the conditions of admission are not satisfied within the first five weeks of study from the stated start date, the student will be liable to repay the amount awarded in full, on demand and without deduction. Acceptance of the terms and conditions of this award shall be taken as acceptance of the student’s liability to repay in such circumstances.

1.2a - The continued payment of the award is dependent on satisfactory progress in your studies and is subject to the terms and conditions that you will need to review and confirm. Should you submit early (for which permission needs to be sought), payment will cease upon submission of your thesis.

1.3 - Accommodation, NHS, visa fees and other costs are not covered by this award.

1.4 - Fee awards: If you are in receipt of a fee award, the award value will be paid directly to the Student Finance Team on your behalf. The full academic fee rate is stated in your offer letter.

1.5 - Stipend awards: If you are in receipt of a stipend award, payments will be made every month, in advance, unless otherwise stated. The first payment will be made on the first day of the month in which the student is due to start their course or three to four days following enrolment, whichever is later.

As payments are made in advance, please be mindful of when the last payment will be made, for example, if the final stipend will be in March, as we pay in advance, payments typically reach the bank account the working day before the 1st, so the student should see their final stipend payment in their account on 27th February. You should keep track of your payments.

Payments will only commence once the enrolment process is complete and your student record contains your UK bank details. Note: Your award letter will explicitly state what is included in the award.

1.5a - Maintenance payments will only be made from the University to a student’s UK bank account.

1.6 - Requests for temporary withdrawal will only be considered on the grounds set out in University Regulation 36. Requests for temporary withdrawal should be made in accordance with normal procedure. Payment of the award will be suspended during the award holder's period of temporary withdrawal. The exception is requests for temporary withdrawal for maternity leave, for which, if approved, the University will pay maintenance in line with statutory maternity provision.

1.7 - Should an award-holder wish to withdraw permanently, he/she/they must notify their department immediately in writing. Any maintenance and fee awards payable will be terminated on the date of withdrawal. Any payments made to an award holder to cover a period of study after the date of permanent withdrawal will need to be repaid.

1.8 - This award is not transferable. You must confirm your acceptance or decline of this scholarship no later than one month from the date of your funding offer. You should retain a copy of your scholarship offer, plus the Terms and Conditions, for future reference.
