- What is meant by 'matching funding'?
SLMS Graduate Funding awards may (depending on total applications and available funding) match Departmental or other funding (not including personal funds). For example, if you have secured Departmental or other funding of £250, the SLMS Graduate Funding award would be £250 if successful.
NB Matching funding can be comprised of Departmental funding, other funding, or a combination of the two (not including personal funds).
