The Queen's Women Graduates (QWG) is interested in promoting education, especially for women, at local, national and international level.
The scholarship should enhance the educational opportunities of women students, normally those who have had a gap of at least five years since attending school, who are enrolled on and are attending a degree, diploma or certificate award-bearing course at the University.
Applicants should have a low income or be dependent on state benefits.
The scholarship may be helpful in assisting, for example, with the cost of fees, books, child care or travel. It is available for one academic year only. An award of up to £1,000 will be made.
All awards are subject to funding availability.
Degree holders and previous QWG Scholarship holders are not eligible to apply.

One of the UK's biggest campus universities, and the 9th oldest, we blend our proud heritage with cutting-edge facilities for the best experience of University life. We are ranked in the top 200 universities in the world (QS World Rankings 2019). Founded in 1845 as Queen's College Belfast, we became an independent university in 1908.
