📋 Application Process
Apply and secure your offer for an eligible postgraduate taught programme as early as possible, since the scholarship application form is only emailed once you hold an offer and scholarship applications open. Keep your final transcript on track for a first-class result, since the award is contingent on achieving or already holding that degree classification.
💡 Insider Tip: If you were already awarded a Global Talent Scholarship, you do not need to submit a separate Global Excellence Scholarship application; you will automatically be considered and notified of the outcome. Confirm you are not receiving any other Queen Mary discount or external award, since the two cannot be combined.
