About the Durham University Hatfield Lioness Scholarship 2024/2025
The Hatfield Lioness Scholarship enables a female student from a developing country to benefit from undertaking postgraduate study at the University of Durham. This program offers a unique opportunity to study at a world-renowned institution, providing financial and academic support to the recipient. It is also a way to recognize and celebrate the successes of female students from developing countries.
Hatfield College aims to award the Lioness Scholarship to an individual who has the academic and personal qualities to enable them to complete and benefit from a postgraduate course and who will also act as a positive ambassador for their home country in Durham and put their enhanced knowledge and skills gained from the master’s programme and experience in Durham to good use for the benefit of their society when they return home.
The program in question has been established as a means of commemorating the 30th anniversary of women students at Hatfield College, which is a constituent college of the prestigious University of Durham. This program has been made possible through the generous contributions of alumni, friends of the college, and other sources that have demonstrated a strong commitment to promoting the scholarship’s objectives. The program aims to support and encourage female students by providing them with the necessary financial assistance to pursue their academic goals and achieve their full potential.
