Multicultural Scholars' Programme 2012

The University of Warwick is pleased to offer a Multicultural Scholars' Programme for undergraduates entering the University in October 2012. The programme was initiated as a result of the generosity of two anonymous donors and is now supported by other donors, Warwick graduates and external organisations.

It is the wish of the donors that the programme should prioritise help for students whose families have their origins in Bangladesh or Pakistan. Consideration may be given to applications from students with Caribbean or African origins.

The Multicultural Scholars' Programme will be available to students based in the Warwick Business School (WBS) or the School of Law. Scholars admitted to the programme will receive:

Financial assistance of £2,000 per year for each year of your course.
Extra support and advice from a dedicated personal tutor and careers adviser.
Mentoring within the University and from Warwick graduates.
Opportunities for career development and other special events organised by WBS and the Law School will also enhance the Warwick experience.
