Today’s Royal Holloway is formed from two colleges, founded by two social pioneers, Elizabeth Jesser Reid and Thomas Holloway. They were among the first places in Britain where women could access higher education. Bedford College, in London, opened its doors in 1849, and Royal Holloway College’s stunning Founder’s Building was unveiled by Queen Victoria in 1886 – it’s still the focal point of the campus.
Their scholarships provide a cash award or a reduction in tuition fees for successful applicants. They are awarded competitively, usually based on your scholarship application statement and academic achievements. We also offer scholarships aimed specifically at underrepresented groups in higher education. Bursaries are awarded to all students who meet the eligibility criteria. You can apply for as many as you are eligible for.
At Royal Holloway, bursaries are awarded automatically to students who are eligible, while scholarships are competitive awards.
You will need to hold an offer from Royal Holloway to apply for one of their scholarships. Once you have this, you will need to apply using their easy-to-use online application system RH Direct where you will be able to copy and paste or upload your scholarship statement, as well as any other information needed to complete your application. If you have applied through an agent and received an offer through Study Group, please contact your agent who will advise on applying for scholarships.
Tution fee reduction is a reduction of the fees of your degree course. This will differ depending on whether you are an undergraduate or postgraduate, a Home or International student and what course you are studying. Scholarships can be partial fee reductions, which is a set amount paid towards your fees, or a full tuition fee reduction, which covers the whole cost. Tuition fee reductions are paid directly to Royal Holloway, rather than to you directly.
