The Aziz Foundation is accepting scholarships from exceptional students from British Muslim backgrounds looking to progress onto postgraduate study in Media & Journalism, Technology, Sustainability / Environment, Law and Policy (excluding Health Policy), and Creative Content.
The scholarship runs in two cycles through 2023:
- For the first one, applications are open until 31 March, with interviews taking place between February and April. Recipients will be revealed in mid-May 2023.
- The second cycle is open for applicants from 12pm on 2 April until 30 June, with interview dates scheduled between May and July, and recipients announced in late July 2023.
Talking about how the scholarship has aided her in her postgraduate studies, Tanzilla Azad, recipient and student of the Legal Practice LLM course at Westminster, said:
After applying for the Aziz Foundation Scholarship, I am able to pour all my efforts into focusing on my degree. I was delighted to hear that I not only received a scholarship, but that the Foundation’s purpose was to help people like me access Higher Education and increase representation in professional jobs.
The partnership between Westminster and the Aziz Foundation began in 2021 and was founded on a number of shared values - from promoting Widening Participation at the postgraduate level to removing barriers to access and success for BME students.
Daniella Rodriguez, Development Officer at Westminster, said:
At Westminster we are thrilled to enter our second year of partnership with the Aziz Foundation. The Foundation’s generous scholarship scheme plays a vital role in providing equality in education and supporting underrepresented communities.
