School of Mathematics 

Top 10 Scholarships
The top 10 undergraduate students in each
year will be offered scholarships of £1000 for their continued studies on their course in Leeds.

Scholarships will normally be offered to the top 10 students studying for School of Mathematics degrees (G100, G150, G300, G1N3) in years 1, 2 and 3, and on a pro rata basis for Joint Honours degrees which include Mathematics or Statistics.

The scholarships will be awarded after the exams in June, and paid when the student recommences their studies at the University. For students spending their third year in industry, or abroad, this means that a scholarship awarded at the end of their second year will normally be paid at the start of their fourth year. The scholarships are open to both Home/EU and international students. There is no need to make a formal application.
