Further details

Wills Hall is one of the University's halls of residence. It is situated at the heart of a beautiful estate in Stoke Bishop and enjoys unparalleled access to open spaces, on-site sports facilities, and elegant indoor facilities.

The 101 Scholarships Fund has been established from legacies and donations made by former residents of Wills Hall. It aims to make residence in Wills Hall possible for students who might not be able to afford the full fees but wish to experience the best that Wills Hall can offer them as undergraduates.

The scholarship will be awarded annually between 2022 and 2030 (which would be the 101st anniversary of the Hall's foundation). Two awards will be made during 2023/24 year and one annually after that.
