Barbara Raw Scholarships for English

Five scholarships are available for new undergraduate students studying for a single or joint honours degree in the Department of English. You must have achieved, or be predicted to achieve, high grades in A-level or equivalent. As a guide, previous applicants have achieved, or been predicted, AAA or equivalent. You must hold a conditional or unconditional offer to study one of our following degrees: BA English, BA English and Drama, BA English and Philosophy, BA English and Latin, BA English and History, BA English with Philosophy, BA Music and English, BA English and Film Studies, BA English and Classical Studies, BA English and American Literature, BA English and Creative Writing, BA Modern Languages and English, BA Comparative Literature and Culture and English, BA American Literature and Creative Writing, BA Drama and Creative Writing, BA English and Digital Arts.

This scholarship is awarded as a cash award of £5,000 in total, given in instalments over three years of study at Royal Holloway: £3,000 in year 1, £1,000 in year 2 and £1,000 in year 3, unless a student spends a year abroad (or on a year of international study) or on an industrial placement. In such cases, the payment will be made in year 4 instead of year 3. For students on a four year course with no industrial placement or a five year course with an industrial placement, the scholarship will be disbursed in the first three years of the degree course only.

In order to be eligible to receive this scholarship after year 1, an average academic grade of at least 60 percent is normally required each year.
