How to apply
Make your application for admission directly to UoG. Please apply via our website, which will guide you.
Notify the university, as part of your study application, that you will be approaching the Beit Trust for scholarship funding.
Once you have an offer from UoG, you should apply as early as possible to the Beit Trust for a scholarship, via https://beittrust.org.uk/beit-trust-scholarships/.
Your application, with all the supporting documents, must be uploaded via the Scholarship application link, available on the Beit Trust website; https://beittrust.org.uk/beit-trust-scholarships/.
You need three referees: Academic, Character and Employer (as appropriate). They have separate and individual forms, the link for which must be forwarded to them by you, the applicant, after completing the scholarship application on https://beittrust.org.uk/beit-trust-scholarships/. The link becomes available once you have submitted your scholarship application form electronically. We prefer referees to use the link provided in the application form. If, however, they can only provide their reference by email, please forward them the relevant forms, which you can download off https://beittrust.org.uk/beit-trust-scholarships/. The completed forms must be returned directly from the referee via email to scholarships@beittrust.org.uk.
