Pegge Scholarship
MSc in Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems
Initial Announcement - starting Oct 2010


Due to a generous donation from Andrew Pegge, further increased by funding from the Department of Innovation, we can announce the Pegge Scholarship to be awarded annually to postgraduate students taking the MSc in Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems. This will be open to all, no nationality or residency restriction. The Scholarship Fund currently stands at £60,000 to be spread over 10 years.

This scholarship will first be available to students starting in October 2010. It will be awarded on merit, and the awarding committee may have discretion, according to circumstances, as to whether (a) to award an individual sufficient to pay (Home/EU level) fees plus some further amount towards maintenance or (b) to give more separate awards limited to reducing tuition fees.

* All applicants who have been accepted for the coming year will automatically be considered for awards based on merit (no nationality or residency conditions) taking into account all the material submitted with the application.

* The awards committee will meet at the end of June, so to ensure that an application will be considered it should be fully entered into the Sussex application process by the middle of June.

***UPDATE***
All applicants whose applications had been received by 30th June 2010 were considered for these studentships. The quality of applicants has been extremely high, and many were of a standard that merited studentships. We have allocated 2 studentships, and they have been notified by our administration and asked to confirm that they are indeed able to take them up. We can announce the names once they have been accepted.

 We offer our regrets to those who have not been successful.
