About this scholarship

J.S. Mill Award (UCL Philosophy)

You get a one-off award of about 1,650 EUR (~£1,400) if you start a research degree in Philosophy at University College London. The department can either use the money to reduce your tuition fees or pay it to you as a stipend, a cash payment towards living costs. It is one of several small awards run by UCL's Philosophy Department for its new research students.

Who can apply

  • Degree: You are starting a research degree in Philosophy at UCL, either the two-year MPhil Stud or the three-year PhD.
  • Field of study: Any area of philosophy counts. There is no restriction to a particular topic.
  • Selection basis: The award goes on academic merit, meaning the strength of your academic record and application.
  • Nationality: Anyone can apply, whatever your nationality.

How to apply

You do not fill in a separate application. Everyone admitted to a UCL Philosophy research degree is automatically considered, based on academic merit. Applying early helps: the department's main funding round closes on 9 January 2026 for September 2026 entry.
