The UCL200 Laws LLB Opportunity Scholarships support eligible UK-domiciled students in financial need to study Law at UCL. The awards support full-time eligible undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds on the LLB programmes. Each of the scholarships awarded will provide the successful candidate with a maintenance bursary of up to £15,000 per annum for the duration of their degree. The scholarship does not cover the cost of tuition fees, but the award can be utilised for any purpose.

Payment of the annual instalments of the scholarship will be conditional upon satisfactory academic progression each academic year.

The UCL Laws alumni group, The Bentham Association, was launched in 1949 as a means to maintain and strengthen relationships with former students to engage their active support for UCL Laws.

The Bentham Club Scholarship marks the continuing contribution of the UCL Laws alumni community to student life in the faculty. It is a testament to the history of the Bentham Association, and to the strong links between UCL Laws alumni and our current students.

A scholarship of £1000 will be awarded to a second, third or fourth year LLB student as a contribution towards their living expenses. The student should have a good academic record, have made a contribution to the life of UCL Laws, show outstanding promise and be in financial need.

Due to the generous support of the Mishcon family, a fund of £2000 is available for the provision of the Mishcon Bursaries each year.

The Mishcon Bursaries are awarded to deserving first year students and are renewable for a further two, or three years subject to the students’ satisfactory academic performance. Individual bursaries will not normally exceed £400 per annum.

The bursary award is based primarily on financial need, although academic performance (including performance in the mid-sessional examinations), attendance and other contributions to the life of the faculty during the student’s first term will also be taken into account.

• Send a covering letter addressed to Karen Scott, UCL Laws Undergraduate Programmes Director,
• A supporting letter from your UCL academic mentor, a teacher from your previous school, or another appropriate person.
• Evidence of your financial position and that of your immediate family. This will normally include copies of bank statements, a letter from a parent or guardian, and evidence of the financial position of anyone who might otherwise be expected to provide financial support. This evidence can include bank statements, tax return forms, a tax credit award notice, and a P60.
