Students who meet these eligibility criteria can apply for the Scholarship by completing an application form.

Applicants must also obtain a reference and ask a referee to write a supporting statement in no more than 500 words. The referee should be someone who can comment on academic performance and not a family member.

A panel will then be convened to interview and select the successful applicant based on the following criteria:

• Academic excellence in the first semester of year one
• Quality of application and reference, including demonstration of impact of the Scholarship and future potential and demonstration of the core values of Omexom

The Schools will notify the successful student. The panel reserves the right to not select any applicant if none of the applications meet the required standard.

Applications for 2024 are now closed.  For more information on the scholarship, contact Elaine Duffy at e.duffy@ulster.ac.uk
