Dangoor Scholarships

The University of East Anglia is delighted to have received 33 £1000 scholarships to allocate to talented students commencing a science or mathematics degree in September 2010. The scholarships have been generously donated by Naim Dangoor, as part of the Eliahou Dangoor Scholarships Scheme.

Background

Naim Dangoor is an Iraqi Jewish businessman who left Iraq in the 1960s to escape anti-Semitic persecution when the Baath Party came to power. He fled to England, where he had studied engineering decades earlier, and built a property empire in exile. He set up the scholarship scheme in 2005, at the age of 90, to thank the country that gave him refuge, and stipulated that the money should help students realise their potential – particularly in the science subjects. He also stipulated that all scholarships should go to students at the 1994 Group and Russell Group of leading research-intensive universities, including the University of East Anglia.

Eligibility

All eligible applicants applying for a degree in the Schools of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computing Sciences, Environmental Sciences and Mathematics will automatically be considered for an award, with priority given to those applying to study either Chemistry or Environmental Sciences. To be eligible students must be resident in the UK and classed as ‘home’ for the purposes of fees status, and must have submitted an application for full-time study through UCAS by the 15th January 2010.
