The scholarship is awarded on the basis of financial need and upon the recommendation of the Student Funding Office.
The Ardalan Family Scholarship was founded in 2010 by a private donor to assist Iranian nationals to undertake Master's study at UCL. Candidates can be from any country, but must fulfil all of the following criteria:
have successfully completed undergraduate-level studies in Iran and be a resident of Iran
AND have submitted an admission application for a full-time one-year Master's degree at UCL
Scholarship recipients are obliged to inform the UCL Student Funding Office immediately of any other funding they are awarded towards their UCL Master's degree studies, before or subsequent to the Ardalan Family Scholarship award.
Unless otherwise requested by the scholar, the scholarship will first be applied to the recipient's tuition fees, with any remainder payable to the recipient in three equal instalments throughout the academic year towards maintenance.
