IOP scholarships are available for graduates with a 2:1 or first class degree in physics or a related subject who can demonstrate exceptional physics subject knowledge and the potential to become an outstanding teacher. Full eligibility, frequently asked questions and application deadlines can be found at www.iop.org/scholarships.
