Ashfords Scholarship

The Marine Institute has secured funding to support three scholarships to enable current final-year undergraduate students to continue their education at the University via a marine related postgraduate masters level course. This scheme has been made possible via a generous donation from Ashfords Solicitors with a key aim of helping to retain talented students in the region. Three scholarships each of £2000 are available for students who are offered a place on one of our marine related postgraduate masters level courses starting in September 2023.

• Be in the final year of study on an undergraduate course at the University of Plymouth.
• At the time of submitting your application for the Scholarship have already applied for a marine related postgraduate masters level course at the University of Plymouth commencing in September 2023 (list below).

Applicants will be judged primarily on the basis of their undergraduate academic performance. Shortlisting will consider a personal statement indicating why you wish to take the postgraduate course you have selected and how this choice fits with your longer term career or personal objectives. It is a precondition of the award that successful applicants will conduct a marine themed dissertation as part of their studies.
