We're delighted to announce the nine DFN and Snowdon Master's Scholars for 2025!
In 2026, in addition to the usual Snowdon Master’s Scholarship which supports your leadership in any sphere, we will also be offering targeted DFN Snowdon Master’s Scholarships to support individuals pursuing careers in business leadership, government or policy with intent to close the Disability Employment Gap.
The Snowdon Master’s Scholarship aims to accelerate exceptional disabled students through master’s study and into leadership in all its forms. We want to invest in you if you intend to use your lived experience of disabling barriers to challenge inequality, shift narratives, and lead progress in a specific field, your community, or in public life.
To further support your leadership journey, scholars are invited to join the Disabled Leaders Network, a peer-led community offering community, collaboration and skills development. It is a safe, supportive and progressive space to share experience, amplify voices, and strengthen your impact.
The Snowdon Master’s Scholarship is worth up to £30,000 payable as contribution of up to £15,000 towards fees paid directly to your university, and a further £15,000 paid to you in termly instalments to cover living expenses over the duration of your Master’s study.
There is no doubt growing up disabled has shaped my passions for the future. Seeing how hard people must fight for the support they deserve, and the injustices people face has made me a passionate advocate for disabled people's rights.
Snowdon Trust Scholar, 2022-23
