The John Abernethy (Barts) Scholarships

The John Abernethy (Barts) Scholarships are undergraduate scholarships for students on the MBBS and BDS programmes at Queen Mary University of London. Four awards are made each year (three for Medicine and one for Dentistry) and each scholarship provides £5,000 for each of the five years of the course, subject to satisfactory annual progress. Awards are targeted at students in financial hardship who demonstrate exceptional academic ability. Recipients are selected by the School of Medicine and Dentistry and approved by the Trustees of St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College Trust.

£5,000 per year for up to five years of the undergraduate MBBS/BDS course (subject to satisfactory progress); number of awards: 4 (three Medicine, one Dentistry).

All students who enrol in the School of Medicine and Dentistry are considered. Awards are made on the basis of household income, attainment of at least three grade A A-levels taken in the same sitting, and students' performance in their Fundamentals of Medicine/Dentistry module at the end of the first term.

No formal application; students are considered automatically after enrolment. The School receives financial and academic information and recommends eligible candidates to the Trustees for approval.
