University College London - AJ Ayer Scholarship in Philosophy

What the AJ Ayer Scholarship gives you

You will receive a one-off grant of approximately 4,412 EUR (around £2,000) towards your philosophy degree at University College London (UCL). You may use the money to cover your tuition fees or as supplementary funding. The scholarship is administered by the Department of Philosophy at UCL and is named after A.J. Ayer, a renowned philosopher who taught at UCL. It is awarded for one academic year only; you should therefore regard it as helpful additional funding rather than full funding for your entire course of study.
