Rufus of Ruskinmere Scholarship for Mature Students

Scholarship information

This scholarship was established by a gift in the will of Leonard Geffen, an RVC Alumnus (1941) and was named after his favourite dog, a St Bernard called Rufus of Ruskinmere.

To be eligible for this scholarship, you must be an offer holder on any undergraduate degree who is:

  • Over 25
  • New to Higher Education
  • Out of education for five years prior to the start of the course they are applying to study

Applicants who meet the scholarship eligibility criteria will be invited to submit a written application shortly after receiving their offer.  Applications will be shortlisted and the final awardee will be selected by our Scholarship Panel. 

The allocation process will take place in June.
