Hatfield Lioness Scholarship for International Students at Durham University

Applications are now being accepted from female international students for the Hatfield Scholarships at the prestigious Durham University.

The aim of the Hatfield Lioness Scholarship is to enable a female student from a developing country where access to tertiary education is limited to benefit from undertaking postgraduate study at the Durham University. The scholarship was launched as part of the celebration of 30 years of women students at Hatfield College, Durham University in 2018, and is funded by alumni, friends of the College and other sources supportive of the scholarship’s aims.

Hatfield College aims to award the Lioness Scholarship to an individual who has the academic and personal qualities to enable them to complete and benefit from a postgraduate course, and who will also act as a positive ambassador for their home country in Durham, and put their enhanced knowledge and skills gained from the master’s programme and experience in Durham to good use for the benefit of their society when they return home.

Durham is a university like no other, a globally outstanding centre of teaching and research excellence, a collegiate community of extraordinary people, a unique and historic setting. We believe that inspiring our people to do outstanding things at Durham enables Durham people to do outstanding things in the world.
