LJMU Scholarships

LJMU’s scholarships reward excellence and are open to all full time Home and EU undergraduates.

Your area of success does not need to be related to your course – in fact it is even more impressive if it something completely different.  Scholarships are not means-tested, they are to reward your achievements to date and hopefully enable you to continue to develop your talents.
