Sir Thomas White Scholarship

The Sir Thomas White scholarship will support a student with academic potential, with the proviso that the selection panel is confident that there is evidence of financial need.

The scholarship is for £4,500, which will be paid to one successful recipient in annual payments of £1,500, subject to satisfactory progress.

Unsuccessful applicants who meet the residence criteria for the award will automatically be considered for an award from the charity, subject to an application being made in future years.
