Sociology Departmental MA Scholarship 2020, University of Warwick

The candidates will be selected based on the following criteria:

• Academic performance (70%)
• The case for support (30%)

Note: This is not a need-based scholarship, so the financial situation will not be taken into account.

• A maximum word limit of 600 words should be maintained in terms of the case for support. It should be different from the statement of purpose and should be submitted along with the application. The case support should cover the following questions:
  • What is the motivation to do a postgraduate degree in a specialization?
  • What are the interesting and relevant individual attributes (eg, background, work experience, extracurricular activities, etc)?
  • What unique perspectives can applicant bring to the table?
  • Whether the quality of the statement is concise, well-articulated, engaging or not?
• The aim is to make a decision on applications within six weeks of the closing date. If the applicants do not receive the results of their application within seven weeks of the closing date, they may assume that their application was not successful.
• Candidates may apply concurrently to other funding sources; however, successful candidates who receive major tuition funding elsewhere will be disqualified.
• Successful candidates must obtain an offer from the university before taking up the award.
