The Department of Education is pleased to announce that the application window for Scholarship  Awards tenable for the 2026/2027 year is open. The scholarship window for new awards will close  at 23:59 (Gibraltar Time) on Friday 5th June 2026. 

School Awards 

The window allows eligible students, who are currently completing or who completed their A Level  / Level 3 studies in June 2024 or June 2025, to submit their intention to embark on their  Undergraduate studies. Further information on these School Awards and how to apply has already  been provided to students via their respective schools. School Leaver Award Form A application  forms will close at 23:59 (Gibraltar Time) on Friday 5th June 2026. 

Continuing Students 

The window also allows students who are current Scholarship Award holders to submit their  Continuation of Existing Award form in order for them to continue to receive funding for their  current Undergraduate award, upon successful completion of the current academic year.  

Similarly, students who are completing a Distance Learning course and are current Scholarship  Award holders, are invited to submit their Distance Learning Continuation of Existing Award form. 

Continuing students will be able to submit their Continuation of Existing Award form via the  Department of Education’s website www.education.gov.gi once they have received the results and  progression letter for this academic year from their University. Students are asked not to complete  a Continuation of Existing Award form until they have received their transcript of results from their  University. 

Please note that the Continuation of Existing Award form only applies to students who are moving  into another year of study in their current course. The deadline for new applicants does not apply  to continuing students. However, continuing students are advised that the earlier the form is  submitted, the sooner they will receive their funding. 

Students who have successfully completed a Foundation year and wish to embark on an  Undergraduate course of study are invited to submit a Foundation to Undergraduate Progression  form. Students are asked not to complete a Foundation to Undergraduate Progression form until  they have received their transcript of results from their University. The deadline for new applicants  does not apply to students in this position, however, students in this position are advised that the earlier the form is submitted, the sooner they will receive their funding. 

Other Funding Applications  

The scholarship window also 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 2025/2025 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 Friday 5th June 2026 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 2026 and have been ordinarily resident in Gibraltar for a minimum of 10 years at the  point of commencement on their course. 

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 and Distance Learning application processes 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 or Distance Learning application  processes will not guarantee future funding and students 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 and Distance Learning application forms will be duly considered.  The outcomes of these applications will be communicated to individuals at the earliest opportunity  as from Monday 29th June 2026. 

The window for new applications under the Schools Award, New Scholarship Award or Distance  Learning Award is open until 23:59 (Gibraltar Time) on Friday 5th June 2026. Late submissions  will not be considered.
