Key Scholarships information

Please note that all scholarships that were previously applied for via the SSFS online application will be available for administration within the new EUCLID IT tools.

An exercise was carried out earlier in 2016 to ask Schools if they wished to include any scholarships for administration within this tool. If your scholarship was not included within the new EUCLID tools then you will continue to administrate the scholarship applications as before.

If you are not sure if your scholarship is being administered within EUCLID, please contact Student Systems via our contact details at the bottom of this page.
