Good luck!! What financial evidence did you provide?
Good luck!! What financial evidence did you provide?

My family's financial statements from the past 3 months
oh NO i didn't provide the financial evidence that you guys talk about :eek:

does proof of my mum's income / benefits count?

and @Misslindseyke same, i haven't chosen my university option yet because i'm waiting for this.

i'm using this as a sign tbh, if it's successful then thank god and i will take up my cambridge offer since all of my fees will be paid off. but if it's unsuccessful then i'll just go for birmingham instead because i won't be taking up a maintenance loan so the cost is lower
Hi guys, I have an offer for MSc Global Health Policy at LSE. Was unsuccessful for the graduate support scheme. Is it too late to apply for the BHF scholarship?
No, is not late, application are open all year
Hey guys! Does anyone have any updates or emails from them?
As of Friday, Rhondi (the Executive Manager) said they are in the final stages of reviewing the applications.

Thanks for the info. Is this for applications that were sent in Jan/Feb? Or after that period?

Applications submitted from December-February

but i sent my application on march 4th and Rhondi's email said "The Trustees will review the application during the next quarterly review period which is due to take place around the end of April."

does this mean mine will or wont have been reviewed? i havent chosen my ucas options yet because im waiting to hear from the BHF
Hey guys, I want to apply to this scholarship but it doesn’t have a deadline online so does that mean they don’t cap the amount of students that can get the scholarship? Also does anyone know how much they usually give?

It will be reviewed, but ours (those submitted between December-February) are still waiting on them to tell us whether we've received the scholarship or not.

The next round of applications March-April (?), I'm guessing y'alls will be reviewed after ours have been finalised. You're still well within the grace period of the review process. I don't been to sound nonchalant or harsh, but welcome to the club. We've all been waiting for them to tell us whether we've got it so we can accept/decline our educational offers. This appears to be the norm.

So a scholar told me that the amount of money they give depends on someone's personal situation. On average they give £10,000 which is for your full duration of learning and is not renewable every year. Hope this helps😊 and good luck

Oh wow, was not expecting that much. Thank you so much for your response! Have you applied yourself? If so, do you have any tips on what to write in your application or what statements to add? Thanks :smile:

Thank you for this response! Wow I didn’t think they’d give that much I assumed that it would be around 1k

Yes I did apply just waiting for their response and as far as any tips, tbh I just wrote it from the heart, explaining my family's financial situation and how they would help me to achieve my goals. I also sent in my family's monthly financial statements from december to mid March cause that's when I sent in my application ❤️

You're welcome ❤️
Does anyone know if this scholarship is available for non-university courses (career courses such as web development)?
Thanks :smile:
