International Students House Residential Scholarship Scheme has grown immensely since 1992. Last year we provided over 50 scholarships to students who otherwise would have no means of studying in London. We are immensely proud of all of our scholars and we are absolutely thrilled to be able to say that combined with our partners the scheme is now worth over £1.1M.
A range of Residential Scholarships are offered, they provide free accommodation at ISH for up to a year and in exceptional circumstances up to three years. All of our scholarships are designed to give students from the developing world an opportunity to study in London and to acquire skills and training that will allow them, when they return home, to work and aid their country's development.
We are accepting applications for the academic year starting in September 2013, the deadline for this is June 15th 2013.
The scholarships that we offer have
criteria attached so it is worth looking through these pages to find out how eligible you are prior to making an application.
