These generous studentship schemes will attract the brightest students, helping them achieve their longer-term goals whilst removing some of the financial barriers that may have prevented them spending another year at University.

The Newton CHESS MPhil Studentship scheme (NCMS) aims to make postgraduate study accessible to students from all backgrounds, by supporting outstanding Home students who want to carry out research MPhils with the goal of continuing to a PhD.
Each Newton CHESS MPhil studentship will be worth £12,000, which will cover fees and provide a bursary to contribute towards living costs.
Forty of these new studentships will be jointly-funded by Colleges and the Isaac Newton Trust, with 19 Colleges providing funding as part of the scheme.
Applicants from the UK for MPhil programmes in all subjects are eligible for the scheme. Applicants who have applied for funding from CHESS as part of their application will be automatically considered for this funding.
