Applying to multiple scholarships

You can apply for multiple scholarships and discounts, but can only accept and apply one to your tuition fees. You cannot combine scholarships and discounts (e.g., alumni, family, or partnership discount), so if you’re successful in more than one, you will need to choose the option with the highest value.

Step two

After you have received an offer for a SOAS masters programme, you can apply for this scholarship. The application form will open in February 2026. More details will be added here in January 2026.

Applications will close at 12 noon (UK local time) on 29 May 2026.
