Bangor University - William Pritchard Scholarship

What the William Pritchard Scholarship gives you

During the first year of your Bachelor’s degree, you will receive a one-off payment of 1,750 EUR (£1,500), usually in November following the start of your studies. Bangor University in North Wales awards this grant as part of its ‘Trust Fund Scholarship Awards’ based on your results in the university’s entrance examination. The grant is awarded in memory of William Pritchard. It is not offered every year; therefore, please enquire whether funds are available for the start of your degree programme.

Who can apply

• Level: You are starting your first bachelor’s degree at Bangor University.
• University choice: You must list Bangor as your first-choice or safety choice via UCAS and then enrol. The grant will only be paid out if you actually commence your studies, and you cannot carry it over to a later year.
• Where you are from: You were born in, or live in, one of the counties of North Wales: Anglesey, Conwy or Gwynedd.
• Residence: You are resident in the United Kingdom or are treated as resident in the United Kingdom for the purposes of tuition fees.
• Prior study: You have completed your Abitur (level 3).
• Field of study: Most subjects are eligible. You will sit the entrance examination in a subject of your choice, such as biology, economics, computer science, law, mathematics, English, history, psychology or Welsh.
