A statement from the Government follows below:

New Applications for Funding 

The scholarship window welcomes applications from eligible individuals for new Postgraduate  applications, new Discretionary applications and new Distance Learning applications. 

All eligible students who have completed or will complete their current Undergraduate or  Postgraduate offering by the end of the 2024/2025 academic year, and are wishing to continue  onto further studies, should submit an application for funding via the New Scholarship Award  application form. 

It is critical that eligible students wishing to continue into Postgraduate studies submit their  application by 23:59 (Gibraltar Time) on Tuesday 24th June 2025 and via the New Scholarship Award  application form process. Applications received after the deadline or through the incorrect  mechanism will not be considered and funding will not be afforded. 

New Discretionary Award applications will also be considered through the New Scholarship Award  application form process. New Distance Learning applications will be considered through the Distance  Learning application form process. Applicants for such new awards must meet the eligibility criteria.  In order to be eligible to apply, individuals must have attained the age of 18 by 1st September 2025  and have been ordinarily resident in Gibraltar for at least 10 years at the time their course starts. 

Priority will be given to those individuals who require an additional qualification in order to  complete their professional studies, where the individual has already embarked on such a pathway  during their Undergraduate course of study. 

Additionally, the New Scholarship Award application process will prioritise applications from eligible  individuals who are wishing to follow courses deemed to be critical to the future success of  Gibraltar. 

Submitting an application via the New Scholarship Award application process will not guarantee  future funding and individuals are advised not to enter into financial commitments on the basis of  the submission of this form. After the deadline for submissions has passed, all New Scholarship  Award application forms will be duly considered. The outcomes of these applications will be  communicated to individuals at the earliest opportunity as from Monday 21st July 2025. 

Applicants may be required to arrange travel and accommodation before learning the outcome of  their scholarship application and are encouraged to plan accordingly. 

The window for new applications under the New Scholarship Award and Distance Learning Award is  open until 23:59 (Gibraltar Time) on Tuesday 24th June 2025. The application forms and  handbooks with additional guidance can be accessed online through the Department of Education's  website www.education.gov.gi. Applications are to be submitted online. The application form and  relevant documentation must reach the Department of Education no later than 23:59 (Gibraltar  Time) on 24th June 2025. Late submissions will not be considered.
