Background:
Professor Denys Holland, in whose memory the Denys Holland Fund was created via
assistance from his students, was a sociable, compassionate man. He is a
Professor of Law and Dean of Students, one of his principle concerns was the
welfare and fulfillment of students under his care. His admission policy for
the Faculty of Law aimed at a broad range of students who would enter fully
into college life. The Denys Holland Scholarship aims to support ndergraduate
students from any country, who without the support of the scholarship
would be unable to secure the funding required to study at UCL, and who can exhibit
their intention to make full use of the activities obtainable by UCL and the
Student Union.
