Anamax Undergraduate Scholarship Fund

This Potential Scholarship provides financial support for undergraduate students studying law or chemistry. Potential Scholarships are funded by private donations to develop the potential of students from lower income backgrounds and/or those who have overcome significant difficulties to come to university. 

There will be one award for a student studying the three-year LLB Law course and one award for a student studying either the three-year BSc or four-year MSci Chemistry course. 

If you are chosen for this award, you will receive funding worth £6,000 per academic year to support your time at the University of Nottingham and you won't have to pay it back  after you graduate. 
 
If you have any questions about this award or your eligibility, please contact us. 

Further information regarding the 2025 entry scholarships will be provided in early 2025 as this will be a pre-entry award (which means you need to apply before the beginning of the academic year).
