The Adam Curle and James O'Connell Scholarship

You will receive about 1,150 EUR (1,000 GBP) per year for three years, totalling approximately 3,450 EUR (3,000 GBP), to study peace studies at the University of Bradford in the UK. Every year, two of these scholarships are awarded, each named after one of the founding professors of the Department of Peace Studies at Bradford – the first of its kind in the world. The funding supports full-time undergraduates who are highly motivated and committed to working towards a better world.

Who can apply

• Degree level: You are starting a full-time bachelor’s degree in the Department of Peace Studies at the University of Bradford.

• Nationality: You can apply from any country.
• Motivation: You can demonstrate the drive to do excellent work and see it through to the end.
• Interests: You have interests both within and outside your degree programme.

How to apply

Once you have accepted your place on a degree programme in the field of peace studies, you should apply via the University of Bradford.

How realistic are your chances?

This award is highly selective: only two scholarships are awarded to students entering a specific degree programme at a specific university, meaning that very few qualify for it. If you have made a firm offer of a place to study Peace Studies at Bradford and can demonstrate genuine motivation and achievements that go beyond your academic grades, your chances are good. As only two scholarships are awarded each year, a clear, well-reasoned application is crucial.
