Scholarships for postgraduate research students

Funding opportunities offered by York St John University.

Scholarships are grants given to a student that you should not need to pay back.

Please note that any applicants assessed as international for fee purposes would be required to fund the difference in home and international fees.

We do not currently have any scholarship opportunities available. Please check back at a later date.

Applying for a scholarship

As part of your application we will ask you to write a research proposal. This should include the following:

  • What are the main research questions you would address?
  • What would be your methodological approach to the research?
  • What makes you the right person to carry out this research?

Please note that CVs are not accepted in place of the application form.

You can see examples of research proposals on our dedicated page: Research proposal examples.

Please note that scholarships and funding are subject to change each academic year. The financial support through the progression scholarship for October 2025 onwards is currently under review.

If you plan to start your course from October 2025, the financial support available to you may differ from what is currently listed on the York St John University website.

If you have any questions regarding PGR scholarships and funding, please email Victoria Lain at v.lain@yorksj.ac.uk.
