About this award
Please note that our next intake for the Cowrie Scholarship Foundation Scholarship will be for 2025 entry.
The University of Hull and The Cowrie Scholarship Foundation (CSF) will offer a scholarship to support Black African and Caribbean heritage applicants from socio-economically under-represented backgrounds. Applicants must be ordinarily resident in the UK and commencing undergraduate study in the academic year 2025/26.
The Cowrie Scholarship Foundation wants to fund 100 Black British students through UK universities in the next decade. More information on The Cowrie Scholarship Foundation can be found here.
The scholarship will cover your home UK tuition fees and a maintenance stipend of £8,000* for each year of your course. The scholarship is tenable for the duration of your programme of study, subject to satisfactory progression.
*The maintenance stipend consists of a University of Hull bursary (£2,000 per annum), and an award of £6,000 per annum from the Cowrie Scholarship Foundation.
