[England] The Florence Congleton Scholarship Award

This award was set up in 1986 to enable an African woman to study full time in the School of Education.

The School of Education is an Associated School of UNESCO and the Florence Congleton Scholarship is now assigned to a female student from Africa who wishes to pursue study in one of the UNESCO themes of education for peace, democracy, human rights and sustainable development (or related issues). The Master’s and Doctorate programmes are available for this scholarship.

The scholarship pays fees for one year of full time study and a contribution of £6,000 towards accommodation is also included. Students wishing to continue to the PhD programme would have to find the remaining fees and costs themselves.

How to apply

Applicants must hold an unconditional offer of a place of study at the School of education before they can be considered for this scholarship. To apply for this scholarship, please send a personal statement to Sue Gallagher at the address below, outlining why you think you should be considered and how their research will contribute to the UNESCO mission.

The award will be made each year, providing sufficient funds are in the Award Account and will be for one year’s study fees plus £6,000 towards accommodation expenses.
