Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

 

I think I'm eligible to apply for two awards – can I apply for more than one?

You're able to apply for as many awards as you like, as long as you meet the eligibility criteria for each award. Each application you submit must be complete. We are not responsible for photocopying references or transcripts to attach to each application.

I've logged into MyGoldsmiths account and selected 'Apply for Scholarships' and nothing happens – what should I do?

Are you using Internet Explorer as your browser? If so please use Google Chrome of Mozilla Firefox. The web pages do not display correctly with Internet Explorer for some reason. Sorry for any inconvenience.

I've selected Goldsmiths as my insurance choice, can I still apply for a scholarship?

Unfortunately not. If you've selected Goldsmiths as your second choice we are unable to consider you for any of our awards.

Do I have to submit a reference?

We'll use the reference you submitted along with your admissions application.

I didn't submit a reference with my admissions application, what do I do now?

You can upload and attach your reference to your scholarship or bursary application. Please read our guidance for references for more information.

What should I say in my supporting statement?

You'll be asked to answer three questions relevant to the award you are applying for. Make sure that you answer these questions clearly and that you stay within the word limit. Please read our guidance for supporting statements for more information.

I haven't finished my studies yet so how do I tell you about my results?

We'll access your predicted grades/classification from your admissions application. If you didn't provide these details when applying please supply them as an uploaded document with your award application. Your predicted results should come from a tutor or teacher, not directly from you.

If your scholarship application is successful we will contact you later in the year to request your certificate/transcript.

How do I apply?

To be considered for any of our scholarships, you first need to have received an offer of a place on one of our programmes. 

Please refer to the page of the specific funding that you are interested in, as some require you to apply via an external website (eg Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme) whereas others do not require a separate application process (eg Goldsmiths Excellence Fee Waiver). 

Many of our scholarship and bursary applications require you to submit an online application through your MyGoldsmiths account at www.gold.ac.uk/mygoldsmiths. If you have already applied for a postgraduate programme you will already have a MyGoldsmiths account. If you applied for an undergraduate programme a PIN will be emailed to you shortly.

Can I apply for a scholarship if I have not received an offer yet?

No. To be considered for any of our scholarships, you first need to have received an offer to join one of our programmes.

My application isn't complete, should I send it now?

If you're awaiting results from current study, you should submit your application now, including details of your predicted grades. We don't need your final results until later in the summer.

It is your responsibility to provide all required documents; we won't contact you for any missing information. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

I've received an email from you confirming receipt of my award application. What do I do now?

You will receive an automatically generated email from us within one hour of submitting your application. This email will be sent whether your application is complete or incomplete. If your application is complete, we’ll be in touch later in the year. If your application is incomplete, please ensure missing information has been submitted by the deadline.

I've submitted my application but have not received an email confirmation, what should I do?

If you didn't receive an email following your application submission please contact us at money@gold.ac.uk to check it's been received. If it hasn't you will have to resubmit it.

How will I be notified of the outcome of my application?

All applicants will be informed by email, which will be sent to the email address given on your application form. 

My application was unsuccessful, can I find out why?

We're sorry but unfortunately we're unable to provide feedback on an unsuccessful decision; this is due to the high volume of applications we receive each year.

I've just found out that I have been given an award! What do I do next?

Please read through your award offer letter carefully; we'll include instructions for what to do next.

If you have any questions that we have not covered above or on the funding pages please contact us by emailing money@gold.ac.uk.

I am transferring from another institution, can I bring my scholarship to Goldsmiths?

Unfortunately if you were granted a scholarship when you began a course at another institution, it is not possible for you to transfer it to the new institution.

I am transferring from another institution, can I apply for a scholarship if I am joining the second year of a Goldsmiths degree?

Unfortunately scholarships are only available to applicants beginning a course in year 1.
