York St John University 50:50 Matched PhD Scholarship 2026

The York St John University 50:50 Matched PhD Scholarship is a doctoral scholarship offered by York St John University in the United Kingdom. It is designed to support PhD candidates undertaking research at the university, usually through a cost-sharing or matched-funding model between the university and another source such as a faculty, project, partner, or external funder.

This scholarship is intended for PhD-level study and is tied specifically to York St John University rather than being a national scholarship scheme. As a matched scholarship, the exact financial package may vary by project or department, but support commonly relates to doctoral tuition fees and may also include a maintenance contribution where matched funding is available.

Eligibility normally depends on meeting the university's PhD admission requirements and being accepted onto an eligible research degree project or supervisory area. Applicants are generally expected to have a strong academic background relevant to their proposed research, and some opportunities may require a research proposal, prior master's-level preparation, or evidence of alignment with a funded research theme.

International and domestic applicants may be able to apply depending on the specific scholarship call, but the terms can differ by project. Applicants should carefully review the individual scholarship advertisement and the university's postgraduate research admissions guidance for details on fee status, funding scope, and any restrictions.

Applications are usually made through York St John University, either alongside a PhD application or through a specific scholarship competition. Prospective candidates should prepare academic transcripts, references, and research materials as required, and consult the university's postgraduate research pages or scholarship listing for the most accurate current information.
