The Denys Holland Scholarship

Professor Denys Holland, in whose memory the Denys Holland Fund was created by donations from his students, was a sociable, compassionate man. A Professor of Law and Dean of Students, one of his principle concerns was the welfare and fulfilment of students under his care. His admissions policy for the Faculty of Law aimed at a broad range of students who would enter fully into college life. Professor Holland took a keen and continuing interest in his students' extra-curricular activities as well as their academic progress.

The Denys Holland Scholarship aims to support undergraduate students from any country, who would be unable to study at UCL without financial help, and who can demonstrate their intention to make full use of the activities offered by UCL and the Student Union.

Eligibility Requirements

Applicants should be

  • Holding an offer of admission to UCL for full-time undergraduate study in any department;
  • In financial hardship, and be able to demonstrate that without the scholarship they would be unable to study at UCL;
  • prefereably aged 25 or below at the time of commencing their studies;
  • Able to demonstrate that they have broad interests and intend to be actively involved in and contribute to the life of the College;

Selection Criteria

Scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial hardship, subject to applicants demonstrating their intention to play a full part in extra-curricular activities of UCL and the Students Union.

Value: Benefits and Duration:

The scholarships are worth £9,300 (= 2007/08 rate) per annum, subject to an annual inflationary increase. Scholars may choose to use all or part of the scholarship to cover fees. Any remainder is paid to the scholar as a maintenance stipend.
