The prestigious Snowdon Trust Master’s Scholarship programme opens for applications on 23 February 2026. These scholarships – worth up to £30,000 – aim to accelerate the most exceptional disabled students through their master’s studies and into leadership in all its forms.

Successful applicants will receive up to £15,000 towards their tuition fees and up to £15,000 maintenance payments to support their master’s studies. They will also be invited to join the Disabled Leaders Network, a supportive community of emerging disabled leaders.

In addition to the general award which is open to emerging disabled leaders on any career pathway, the DFN Snowdon Master’s Scholarship will be awarded to candidates pursuing careers in business leadership, government or policy, who have specific leadership ambitions which will help reduce the disability employment gap. As part of their commitment to disability leadership, DFN Snowdon Scholars are also expected to take part in a fully-funded week-long summer leadership school, hosted by the University of Cambridge Professional and Continuing Education centre.
