Scholarships and awards

Find out about scholarships, prizes, and Dean's Lists in the Faculty of Law.

Every year, the Law School awards prizes and scholarships to students in recognition of their hard work and talents. Many of the prizes are in the name of earlier alumni or staff and, in this way, the outstanding qualities of both the past and present are interwoven.
