SOAS Research Academic Excellence Scholarship

The SOAS Research Academic Excellence Scholarship (Home) is designed to recognise and award UK Research applicants with outstanding academic performance. 

SOAS will be awarding up to 10 full fee waivers (100% of tuition fees) for up to 3 years of study.

Eligibility 

To be eligible for this scholarship you must:  

• Have an offer for a full-time Postgraduate Research (on campus) programme.
• Be a Home (UK) fee-paying student.
• Have a UK upper second class (2:1) or international equivalent.  

Notification of results 

Successful applicants will be notified by the end of July 2026. 

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 application you will need to choose the option with the highest value.
