Double Degree Scholarship

The Award

PAIS is delighted to confirm that up to two scholarships are available for students proceeding to the second year of eligible Double Degree programmes in PAIS in 2024:

In cases where the successful candidate is attending Warwick for year one and has outstanding Warwick tuition fees, the award will first be applied to their tuition fee balance with the remainder paid as a maintenance grant during their second year.

In cases where the successful candidate is attending Warwick for year two of the degree, the full amount of the award will be applied to their tuition fee.

Eligibility

  • Students currently at Warwick in the first year of their eligible Double Degree.
    • The award is conditional upon progression to Part II of the course.
  • Students currently at Warwick on a single MA who intend to transfer to an eligible Double Degree.
    • The award is conditional upon progression to Part II of the course.
    • The award is conditional upon transfer to an eligible Double Degree.
  • Candidates may apply concurrently to other funding sources; however, successful candidates who receive major funding elsewhere will be disqualified.

Deadlines

  • Candidates must apply for the scholarship no later than the deadline, April 1 2024.
  • Candidates must supply their undergraduate transcript as well as their Masters marks to date no later than April 1 2024.
  • Candidates who are not current Warwick students must submit their Warwick application no later than April 1 2024.

Selection Criteria

Each application will be judged on the following merits:

  • Outstanding academic performance (70%)
  • Outstanding case for support (30%)

Please note that this is not a needs-based scholarship, so your financial situation will not be taken into account.

Application Guidelines

The primary factor determining an application's success is the strength of the case for support, in addition to grades. This case for support should demonstrate why you fit the above criteria as well as reflect your motivation for choosing to do the Double Degree. Your case for support should be no more than 600 words in length and should differ from the statement of purpose, submitted with your application to the university.

The application form can be downloaded here. This should be completed and submitted alongside your undergraduate and current Masters transcripts via paispg@warwick.ac.uk no later than April 1 2024

We aim to make a decision on applications within six weeks of the closing date. If you have not received the results of your application within seven weeks of the closing date, you may assume your application was not successful.
