Townsend Scholarships

Townsend Scholarship Programme

​​Scholarships to support Lambeth BME students from low income homes who gain a place at a Russell Group University

Details
The generosity of a Lambeth resident resulted in the establishment of our Townsend Scholarship Programme.  It supports Lambeth Black and Minority Ethnic pupils from low-income homes who gain a place at a Russell Group University. We make one scholarship each year worth £1,000 a term for three years (£9,000 in total).

  • Meet Miranda and hear her story

Eligibility
To be eligible for a scholarship, students must:
  • live in the London Borough of Lambeth (and have lived in the borough for at least one year)
  • live in a low-income household (e.g. eligible for Free School Meals)
  • be from a black or minority ethnic background
  • have accepted an offer from a Russell Group University

Application Process
Applications for courses starting in September 2023 open on 1 April 2023 and close on 16th June 2023.

Any eligible student that is not awarded a Townsend Scholarship will automatically be assessed for a Walcot Foundation student bursary, worth £1,800 per year, without having to make a further grant application.

For additional information, please see the Guidance Notes.
