The Dean’s Scholarships for International Students
FPSE is introducing
Dean’s PhD Scholarships for International Students
for 2014/15.
Up to 5 new
PhD Scholarships will be available every year. The purpose of these awards is to attract
outstanding
international students
to study for a PhD in FPSE. The award covers the tuition fee for 3.5 years and
the students and/or their supervisors will be responsible for the stipend over the duration of the
PhD. Demand for these scholarships is expected to be
high and applications with partial tuition fee
funding (such as the University funding for CSC sponsored PhD candidates) will have higher priority.
The deadline for applications using the FPSE PGR Scholarship template is 4pm Monday 31
st
March.
Applicati
ons should be sent to Julia Quinn

Applications will be considered by a panel chaired by the Associate Dean Research and attended by
the Director of the Faculty Gra
duate School and the Head of Faculty Finance.
The
primary criterion
for al
location of the scholarships is the a
cademic quality of the candidate
