The Halford Scholarship Programme - 2023 entry
Nottingham alumnus Andrew Halford generously established this major award for undergraduate students entering the University from 2016 onwards. Andrew is an Industrial Economic graduate (1980). In 2023 the Award offers financial support of £7,500 per year over the ordinary duration of their course to one academically able student who aspires to a university education despite circumstances which would ordinarily prevent them from achieving this. Each scholarship provides between £22,500 to £37,500 to the successful applicant, depending on their course duration.
This is a pre-entry award, meaning applicants will need to apply prior to their starting on their course in the 2023/24 academic year.*
