Gibraltar Government Scholarship Award Scheme

On receiving a Scholarship Award, you will have to sign an agreement with the HMGoG before leaving for the UK. We will then transfer your allowance to your bank account.

Students have a contractual obligation to complete the course they have obtained the award for. HMGoG will only fund costs which are stipulated in the contract. A student who fails to complete the course is liable to reimburse all the monies afforded to them including any tuition fees paid by the Department.
