COMBAR University Scholarships

COMBAR offers two postgraduate scholarships (covering fees and maintenance), for students of black and mixed black ethnicity who have a serious intent to pursue a career at the commercial bar of England and Wales.

One scholarship is offered in conjunction with the University of Oxford and is available to prospective applicants for the university’s Batchelor of Civil Law (BCL) course. The second is offered in conjunction with the UCL and is available to prospective applicants for the Faculty of Law’s Master of Laws (LLM) programme.

Both scholarships cover the tuition fees for the course as well as a further £25,000 stipend to enable the students to meet their accommodation and living expenses for their year of study. COMBAR will also offer the students the opportunity to join their new mentoring scheme to assist with the process of applying to and thriving at the Commercial Bar.

The scholarships will be available to those who demonstrate exceptional academic merit or potential, who are ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom, and who indicate a serious interest in commencing a career at the commercial bar following completion of their studies.  They will be awarded on the basis of financial need.
