Bangor University - Denbighshire Scholarship

What the Denbighshire Scholarship gives you

You will receive a one-off payment of approximately 1,750 EUR (roughly GBP 1,500) for your first year of study at Bangor University in Wales. This is one of the university’s admission scholarships, which is awarded to students with a connection to the historic county of Denbighshire in North Wales. You have been awarded this scholarship on the basis of your outstanding results in the university’s entrance examination.

• Where you are from: Preference will be given to applicants with a connection to Denbighshire in North Wales.
• Field of study: Any subject. You sit the entrance examination in a subject of your choice, ideally one that is closely related to your degree programme.
• Nationality: All nationalities can apply.
• Grades: You do well in the annual scholarship entrance exam in Bangor, which determines who receives the scholarship.

How to apply

Please complete the application form for the entry-level scholarships. The application period begins on 8 October and ends on 30 January. In February, you will then sit a written examination in a subject of your choice at your own school or university.

How realistic are your chances?

This award is highly selective. It is awarded exclusively to applicants from Bangor, with preference given to those from Denbighshire, and selection is based not on an open application but on an entrance examination. This keeps the pool of applicants small. If you meet the regional criteria and prepare for the examination, your chances are good. Around 20 merit-based scholarships are awarded each year, so it is essential to apply by the January deadline.
