September 11 Scholarship Alliance: United Kingdom Fund

The United Kingdom 9/11 Scholarships Fund was established jointly by the British Council and the World Trade Center Disaster Fund. The fund provides awards for study in higher or further education in the United Kingdom to children or dependents of victims of the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. The British Council is the United Kingdom’s international organization for educational opportunities and cultural relation.

Scholarships are offered for full-time study leading to a degree (undergraduate or graduate), or the equivalent, at a recognized institution in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland). There are no restrictions on age, nationality, or on residence in countries. Applicants must have lost a parent or guardian as a result of the terrorist attacks, be able to demonstrate need, hardship, or distress, and be in good academic standing.

Eligible applicants must complete the registration process for the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund to be eligible to apply for the UK 9/11 Scholarships Fund. Residents of the United States are to submit applications to Scholarship America, Inc.; residents of other countries, including the United Kingdom, are to submit applications to the British Council.
