Cardiff University - Eliahou Dangoor Scholarships

Benefit

You will receive a one-off cash grant of approximately 1,150 EUR (1,000 GBP) for one academic year at Cardiff University in the United Kingdom. This will be paid in two instalments: half in November and the other half the following February. The funding comes from a donation of 3 million GBP from Dr Naim Dangoor OBE and is intended to help British students from low-income families gain access to degree programmes in the natural sciences and engineering. Cardiff University awarded around 50 of these grants in its natural sciences and engineering departments, including 5 in the subject of mathematics.
