The Sainsbury Laboratory is providing the full cost of the tuition fee (£29,000 for 2022/23), maintenance grant (exact value at the UKRI postgraduate researcher stipend level to be determined for 2022/23; in 2021/22, it was £15,609) and an additional £4,000 for travel costs (subject to valid economy class travel receipts) to the selected students.
The David Sainsbury Full MSc Scholarship is a direct contribution by TSL to the tuition fee paid to UEA and a cash contribution in the form of a maintenance grant and travel expenses. Therefore, the Full MSc Scholarship can fund up to the full cost of the course and living expenses.
