What is the Gangolli Scholarship?
The Gangolli Scholarship is a fully-funded (100% of fees) scholarship for taught MSc courses in the School of Life Sciences, Pharmacy and Chemistry. We are able to offer this scholarship through the generous support of Professor Sharat and Mrs Lilian Gangolli.
The scholarship aims to encourage academic excellence and allow talented young graduates to continue to higher levels of learning and research.
