FUNDING
An offer of a place does not imply that any funding is available or automatically allocated and you must, therefore,
arrange your own funding. This is a separate process from your application for a place at the School. Please go
to http://www.soas.ac.uk/registry/scholarships for scholarships and bursaries available.
You should also note that many scholarships and bursaries have their own individual deadline. Scholarship
applications received after the deadline will be automatically disqualified. Competition for awards are extremely
fierce. Therefore you should make alternative arrangements for funding in case your scholarship
applications prove unsuccessful.
If you have any other query about Scholarships, please visit: http://www.soas.ac.uk/registry/scholarships/
