Scholarships

How to apply

Please complete the application form (.docx) and submit it to the Schools Membership Plus Team via smplus@essex.ac.uk.

Where more applications are received than awards available, applications will be considered by a panel using the following criteria (in order of prioritisation):

• Even distribution of awards across SMP partners proportionate to size of institution
• Personal statement
• If needed, strength of reference from named contact within the application form.

Successful students will be contacted via email by the end of September 2023.
