Interested in pursuing graduate study and/or research at a university in the UK or Ireland?
Consider applying for UW nomination to compete for scholarship support through the Rhodes, Marshall, Mitchell, Churchill and/or Gates Cambridge scholarships. These scholarships fund graduate studies/research at universities in England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland.
Students and alumni interested in being considered for UW nomination should start exploring their options well in advance of the campus deadline and plan to apply for UW nomination by June 21 (nomination is not required for Gates Cambridge). The current application cycle is for those hoping to start their graduate studies in the UK or Ireland in fall 2022.
