Sir Bob Murray Health Scholarship (Psychology)

Funded from a philanthropic donation via the University of Sunderland's Development and Alumni Office, the Sir Bob Murray Health Scholarship aims to support five eligible first-year undergraduate psychology students. You must be a 'Home' or 'Overseas Island' student on an eligible course. The Government classes all students as ‘Home' or ‘International'. This status determines which tuition fees you pay, and which scholarships and bursaries you may be eligible to receive. Overseas Island Isle of Man and the Channel Islands students are eligible. EU students with a UK Settled Status are eligible at the time of application. International students are not eligible. You must be a first-year student applying to commence your studies in autumn 2025. You must successfully enrol onto one of the following eligible full-time courses in academic year 2025/26: BSc (Hons) Psychology, BSc (Hons) Psychology with Counselling, BSc (Hons) Clinical Psychology, BSc (Hons) Forensic Psychology.
