UCL 2025 Physics & Astronomy Opportunity Scholarship

UCL 2025 Physics & Astronomy Opportunity Scholarship

The Opportunity Scholarship is a long-term project to attract students from a broader range of backgrounds to tackle the lack of Black representation in Physics & Astronomy. The scholarships are open to UK-domiciled students with home fee status who identify as Black pursuing an undergraduate degree at UCL. The scholarships will cover students’ full maintenance loans for the duration of their degree. The Opportunity Scholarship has been made possible by a generous legacy from a former UCL student.
