International Recruitment Office Scholarship (2026/27) What: Tuition fee reductions for high-achieving international applicants: two awards of £5,000 off first-year tuition and twenty awards of £1,000 off first-year tuition (as published). Who it’s for: High-achieving students from outside the UK entering undergraduate or postgraduate studies. Important: These awards apply to the first year’s tuition (check whether they are one-off or renewable in the T&Cs). You must apply/accept and follow the application process described on the Bath Spa scholarship page. Undergraduate Scholarship (A-level / equivalent academic boost) What: A £500 one-off payment for students starting in a specified intake (e.g., Sept 2024/2025) who achieve better than predicted grades or hit AAB at A-level (or equivalent). Who it’s for: Applicants meeting the academic criteria (no separate application needed — automatic if you meet the conditions). Global Horizons Award (placements / international project funding) What: Grants up to £3,500 to support international placements, study trips, research projects or other activities that enhance degree-related employability. Who it’s for: Bath Spa undergraduate students (and some postgraduate opportunities) applying for course-related international placements in 2025/26. International Travel Fund / Turing Scheme Global Placement What: Smaller travel grants (e.g., up to £650) to help fund study/placement travel related to your degree; the Turing Scheme placement applications are also supported through Bath Spa. Deadlines and application windows vary; applications for travel funding for 2025/26 are open with monthly assessment windows. Other bursaries, awards & student opportunity funds Bath Spa runs a Student Opportunities Fund (small grants to support projects), widening-participation bursaries and a Sanctuary Scholarship for refugees/asylum seekers — these are listed on the main scholarships pages and vary in eligibility and value.   Typical eligibility rules (the essentials) Fee status: International scholarships target students assessed as overseas/international by the university (check your fee status). Offer accepted: Most Bath Spa international scholarships require that you have already accepted your offer to study before you can apply (or be considered). See the “how to apply” guidance. Deposit / payment requirements: Bath Spa’s international fee rules require first-year international students to pay 100% of tuition on or before arrival (or by a stated deadline) — check how the scholarship appears on your invoice before you pay. One-off vs renewable: Several awards (e.g., the Recruitment Office Scholarship) are published as first-year tuition reductions (confirm in the T&Cs whether they renew). Some travel/placement awards pay single grants for the project. Course exclusions: Specific scholarships or funds may exclude certain course types or partner-delivered programmes — always verify your programme is eligible in the scholarship T&Cs (the University provides terms & conditions documents).   Deadlines & timing to watch Scholarship availability and deadlines change by intake (e.g., the International Recruitment Office Scholarship is listed for 2026/27 in Bath Spa’s pages). Always check the scholarship page for the intake you are applying to. For travel funding (International Travel Fund and Turing placements) the application windows can be monthly or have a final closing date (e.g., international travel funding applications for 2025/26 close on 1 July 2026). Payment timing: Bath Spa requires first-year international tuition payment to be received prior to registration or by a specific date — find this under their International Fees page and confirm whether scholarship reductions are already applied to that invoice.   Practical tips (to increase your chances) Accept your offer early — many awards require an accepted offer before application/consideration. Get the scholarship in writing on your offer letter / fee invoice before you transfer large sums. If it’s not shown, contact Student Finance immediately. Prepare a short project plan if you hope to get Global Horizons or travel funding — clear learning outcomes and employability benefits strengthen applications. Keep evidence of high achievement (transcripts, references) for merit awards. Some awards are automatic (no form) but others require evidence or an application. Budget for living costs & visa — scholarships usually reduce tuition only, not living costs or visa fees.

Future Talent Scholarship BIMM University launched a “Future Talent Scholarship” for September 2024 entry across their schools (music, film, performing arts, creative technology) which covers full three-year tuition fees for a candidate from an under-represented/low-income background. Eligibility: varies by campus/location; you need to apply for an undergraduate degree for that intake; from an under-represented group or low-income household. How to apply: apply for your degree programme, then you’ll receive a scholarship application form. Deadline for one example was 6 June 2024. Important note for international students: The publicly-announced versions of this scholarship seem to emphasise UK/EU students (or domestic fee status) and “under-represented groups” in UK/EU higher education. It is not 100% clear how many of these are open to non-EU/EEA international fee-paying students. You’ll need to check the campus you’re applying to.   Named campus-specific scholarships Joan Armatrading Scholarship (Birmingham campus): Full three-year tuition fees for one eligible candidate on music courses starting Sept 2024. Eligibility criteria: UK national, home fee status, low household income and/or under-represented group. Moses Schneider Scholarship (Berlin campus): Full three-year tuition fees for one eligible candidate on music courses starting Sept 2024. Eligibility: German/EU national currently residing in Germany or EU, or permanent resident/refugee status in Germany; plus low income/under-represented group. Games Ground Future Talent Scholarship (Berlin, for video games degree): Full tuition fees for candidate beginning eligible course Sept 2024; eligibility: German/EU national residing in Germany/EU or permanent resident/refugee status; low household income/under-represented group. These indicate that many of the named scholarships are aimed at EU/UK fee?statuses or resident students, rather than general international fee-paying students from outside EU/UK.   Early Confirmation Discount for International Students According to the “Fees and finance for international students” page: For overseas applicants (outside EU/EEA) the tuition fee is stated (e.g. £15,950/yr for certain courses) and there is an Early Confirmation Discount of £2,000 per year for international students from outside EU/EEA who accept their offer and pay the deposit by the deadline. This discount: Applies to “overseas applicants ineligible for home (domestic) fees”. Requires you to accept your offer and pay deposit by 15th June 2026 for one example page. Cannot be used in conjunction with any other discount/offer/scholarship. This is a clear benefit for international students (non-EU/EEA) and amounts to a straightforward reduction in tuition cost.   Fair Access Fund / Bursaries / Hardship Support The “Scholarships and bursaries” page (UK) states a “Fair Access Fund (FAF)” for undergraduate students from under-represented groups. It provides bursaries or access awards (not loans) paid across years or first year. Eligibility: for example the FAF baseline criteria: must have applied and accepted an offer to study a BIMM University undergraduate degree at specified UK campuses, must be UK resident paying home fee rate. There are additional categories (low income household, care leavers etc). Also, there’s the “Fair Access Fund” for courses starting 2024, supporting students from underrepresented/financially disadvantaged backgrounds: up to £1,500 per academic year for living expenses, course materials etc.   What this means if you’re an international student (from India, Asia, outside UK/EU) You are eligible for the Early Confirmation Discount (for truly “overseas” applicants) of £2,000/yr (UK) as long as you accept your offer and pay deposit by the deadline. That is one solid funding option for non-EU international students. However: Many of the full-tuition scholarships or named scholarships seem aimed at UK or EU/fee-status or residents. So if you are an Indian student or non-EU/EEA resident applying for the UK campus, you’ll need to check very carefully whether you qualify. The “Scholarships & bursaries” and “Fair Access Fund” seem to primarily target UK-resident / home-fee students; so the financial support available specifically to non-EU international fee-paying students may be more limited. Thus: you should assume you won’t always get full tuition coverage if you are outside the UK/EU, unless explicitly stated for “international students”. But you can benefit from certain defined discounts and apply for bursaries if conditions allow.   Eligibility to check Are you eligible under the terms: “overseas applicant ineligible for home fees”? (If yes, you likely qualify for the £2,000 discount) Are you applying for the correct campus and intake (UK/UK campus vs EU campus)? Different campuses may have different eligibility. For full scholarships (if offered) check: Are international fee-paying students allowed, or only UK/EU students? E.g., the Moses Schneider and Games Ground scholarships specified “German/EU national currently residing in Germany/EU”. Check deadlines for scholarship applications. For example, one scholarship deadline was 6 June 2024. For bursaries/hardship funds: check whether they are open to international students or only to UK residents.   Application process Step 1: Apply for your degree programme at BIMM in the campus/location of your choice. Step 2: Once you receive an offer (or conditional offer) you’ll often be sent a scholarship application form (if applicable). E.g., for Future Talent Scholarship they said: “once you have applied you will receive the necessary scholarship application form.” Step 3: Pay any required deposit by the deadline (for the discount) to qualify. For example, deposit of £4,000 for self-funded international students to secure place. Step 4: Provide required supporting documents: proof of talent (for creative/arts scholarships, maybe audition/portfolio), proof of financial background (if under-represented/low income), any residency/fee-status proofs. Step 5: If you win, the scholarship or discount will be applied to your tuition fees (deducted when you enrol). The discount will usually be “automatically deducted” if you meet criteria (for the Early Confirmation Discount). Step 6: Note the “cannot be used in conjunction with any other discount, offer or scholarship” clause for the Early Confirmation Discount. So you cannot stack it with other discounts. Step 7: For bursaries/hardship funds: you may need to register interest or apply separately once enrolled. E.g., Fair Access Fund registration begins after 1 June 2024.   Documents you should prepare Your academic transcripts/certificates. Your portfolio/audition details if you’re applying for a creative degree (music, film, games). Proof of English language ability (if required) and any other entry requirements for your programme. Proof of fee status and nationality/residence (for eligibility for international discount vs home fee). For low-income/under-represented scholarships: proof of household income, or documentation of under-represented status (care leaver, disability, etc). Deposit payment receipt and confirmation of acceptance of offer (for discount eligibility). Scholarship application form (once you receive it) and any personal statement explaining your creative potential, commitment to your discipline, etc.   Important things to watch out Deadline: Missing the deposit by the deadline may mean you miss the discount. For example, “pay deposit by 15 June 2026” in one page. Fee status & location matters: Many awards are location-specific (UK campus vs Berlin vs Dublin) and also fee-status specific (home vs international vs EU). So read the small print. Stacking of discounts: Some discounts cannot be combined with other offers. Make sure you know if you’re giving up one benefit when taking another. Living costs not always covered: Some scholarships cover full tuition; many only reduce tuition fees or provide bursary for living/materials. You still need to budget for accommodation, living costs, visa, travel. International visa & sponsorship: If you’re outside UK/EU, check whether that campus can sponsor international students (for example in Ireland or Germany, check Student Route Visa eligibility). The agent guide mentions “BIMM Institute Dublin is only able to sponsor students requiring a Student Route Visa (SRV) for the BA (Hons) Commercial Modern Music course”. Course suitability & audition: Especially for creative degrees you often need audition or portfolio review. For example, the international brochure states “There are a number of international talent scholarships available to students who demonstrate outstanding talent at audition or interview.”

Undergraduate (Bachelor’s) Scholarships For full-time international fee-paying undergraduate students enrolling at BCU in January OR September 2026, BCU is offering a guaranteed scholarship of £5,000. This is applied as a tuition fee discount: £3,000 off in year one, and £2,000 off in year two. Eligibility: Self-funding international fee payer. Secure a place on a full-time undergraduate degree course commencing January or September 2026. Enrol at BCU and begin your studies in Jan or Sept 2026. There is also a merit-based scholarship scheme for international undergraduate entrants for September 2025: up to £2,000 deducted from first year tuition fees, based on your academic background. Exclusions apply: e.g., students progressing from a Foundation or International Year One at BCUIC, Nursing & Midwifery courses, some part-time/short courses etc.   Postgraduate (Master’s) Scholarships For international students enrolling in September 2024 (and likely similar schemes for 2025) BCU offers a merit-based scholarship up to £2,000 off tuition fees: £2,000 for those holding a First Class degree (or international equivalent) £1,500 for Second Class Upper / 2:1 equivalent £1,000 for Second Class Lower / 2:2 equivalent Exclusions: courses such as PhD, MRes, PGCE, some health CPD, part-time/distance learning, pre-sessional English, etc. For postgraduate taught Master’s students joining in January 2026, BCU offers a scholarship of £3,000 off tuition fees for eligible self-funding international fee-paying students.   General Fees / Costs & Eligibility Info On their Fees, costs and scholarships page BCU states: when you are offered a place as an overseas (non-UK/EU) student, you will pay the overseas tuition fee. They provide guidance for checking your fee status. Important: Some scholarships/discounts are automatic as long as you meet criteria; others are merit-based requiring certain grades. Some scholarships cannot be combined with other offers — so you’ll want to check the terms for each. (E.g., the “Guaranteed £5,000” for UG 2026 says “there are no extra forms to fill in – just apply to study at BCU and leave the rest to us.”)   Eligibility & important conditions (for you as international student) Here are the conditions you should check carefully: Fee-payer status: You must be classified as a self-funding international (overseas) fee-payer. If you have other sponsorship or your fee status changes you may lose eligibility. Study mode & duration: The scholarships apply to full-time, on-campus courses, typically at least one academic year. Part-time, distance, short-courses are excluded in many schemes. Eligible course/intake: For the £5,000 UG 2026 scholarship: full-time undergraduate degree course, January or September 2026 start. For the PG £3,000 scholarship: full?time taught Master’s programme, January 2026 start. For merit-based PG up to £2,000: full?time postgraduate entering Sept 2024 (or similar for 2025) based on your previous degree classification. Academic background: For the merit-based PG scholarships you must hold a degree with certain classification equivalent to UK system. Application / Enrolment: For the “automatic” discounts you often just need to apply for the course and fulfil enrolment/deposit by deadline; you must secure and accept your place, enrol and begin studies. E.g., for the UG £5,000 scholarship there are “no extra forms to fill in”. Exclusions: Always check whether your specific course is excluded (foundation years, part-time, HND, certain subjects). E.g., the undergraduate merit-based award excludes Nursing & Midwifery, HND, etc.   Key things to watch out / tips Deadlines matter: While some discounts are automatic, the earlier you apply & accept you are, the better. Scholarships amounts are often tied to specific intakes (e.g., Jan/Sept 2026) or offers. Cost of living & visa: Scholarships often reduce tuition fees, but you will still need to budget for living costs, accommodation, travel, visa, etc. BCU’s fee page reminds you to check living costs. Course eligibility: Some subjects (e.g., Nursing & Midwifery, HNDs, part-time) are excluded from certain scholarships — confirm for your exact programme. Cannot stack (sometimes): Some scholarships/discounts may not be combined with others — check whether you can combine with any other offer or if taking one means foregoing another. For the £5k UG scheme the statement “there are no extra forms to fill in” suggests it is standalone. Refund/change conditions: If you defer your entry or your fee-status changes (e.g., become home fee status), scholarship eligibility may change — always check the T&Cs. International vs home/EU: Make sure your fee status is correctly determined. Many scholarships are for overseas (non-UK/EU) fee-payers. If you become or are assessed as a home or EU fee-payer you may not qualify for a given “international” offer. Contact admissions for clarity: If you are from India or another non-UK/EU country, you are likely to be classed as overseas, but you should confirm with BCU’s international admissions whether you’re eligible for the specific scholarship.

Merit-based scholarships (2026 intake): According to a webpage labelled “Scholarships for international students | BSB” (which appears to refer to BSMI) they offer up to 100 merit-based scholarships for the 2026 intake, covering 10% to 25% of first year tuition fees for international students holding an international diploma/degree. Eligibility includes strong academic achievement, motivation (cover letter & resume) and performance in an admission interview. Application timeline given: multiple deadlines from 18 November 2025 to 16 June 2026. Early Bird Discount: The same page also lists an “Early Bird” discount (applies to all programmes excluding certain ones) for students who apply by 27 February and pay deposit within 20 days of admission letter. This is a discount on first?year tuition only and is separate from scholarships. (And you cannot combine both – only one discount/award applies). Larger discount example via external site: Another site mentions BSMI “50% Scholarship for Foundation programmes at BSMI … up to £6,500” for a past intake (for example: foundation/undergraduate courses) though this appears to be older information (2021) and may not reflect current 2025/26 policy. Scholarship mention on third-party page: A site mentions “Up to 50% of scholarships are now available to international students …” for the British School of Marketing International.   Key eligibility and terms (what you need to check) Here are the details of eligibility and terms as published (and some we have to confirm): What we know: For the merit-based scholarships: Must hold an “international diploma/degree admitted to one of BSMI’s programmes”. The selection criteria include academic achievement, motivation (cover letter & resume) and interview performance. The award applies to first year tuition only (for that scholarship) and only one award/discount can apply (merit or early bird) per student. For the early bird discount: Must apply by the deadline (e.g., 27 February) and pay deposit within 20 days of admission letter. What is not fully clear (you should ask): Exactly which programmes the scholarships apply to: Are they only for “pathway” courses, foundation programmes, or for full undergraduate degrees via progression? How much exactly “10% to 25%” amounts in £ terms for each programme. Whether scholarships are offered for all intakes (September, January, etc) or just specific ones. Whether international students requiring a visa (who pay higher fees) are eligible just as domestic/international fee status, or if there are restrictions. Whether the scholarship applies only to tuition fee or includes other costs (e.g., deposit, living, etc) — likely only tuition. Whether the award is renewable after the first year (or only first year) and conditions for renewal (grades, full?time enrolment etc). Whether the “50% off” scholarship mentioned for foundation programmes is still active or a past intake only.   My practical advice (for you as an international student) Apply early: The earlier you apply (especially for the early?bird discount) the better your chance of securing some fee reduction. Prepare your documents: Strong academic transcripts, a compelling cover letter explaining your motivations, a good CV/resume, and a sharp performance in interview will help for the merit award. Ask the right questions: Contact BSMI’s admissions and ask: “Does this scholarship apply to my specific programme (name it) and intake (Sep/Jan)?” “What is the exact value (in £) of the scholarship for my programme?” “What conditions apply for renewal, if I progress to the partner university afterwards?” “What is the total tuition fee for year 1 for international students (visa fee status) and what will the fee be after scholarship?” Consider progression pathway: Since BSMI is a pathway/college to partner universities (e.g., foundation → year 1 at a UK university), you should check how the scholarship or discount affects your progression and whether the partner university has its own scholarships. Budget beyond tuition: Remember the scholarship/discount usually reduces tuition only — you’ll still need to cover visa, travel, living costs, accommodation, health insurance, etc. Get it in writing: When you receive your offer and scholarship award, ensure the tuition reduction is clearly shown in writing (offer letter or financial statement) before you pay deposits.

Undergraduate & Postgraduate scholarships For full-time international fee-paying undergraduate students, Cardiff Met provides an “Undergraduate Scholarship” of £2,500 for the 2025/26 intake. For international students enrolling in the MBA programme, there is an “MBA Scholarship” worth up to £4,000 (based on academic/professional experience) for the same intake. For certain MA/MSc postgraduate taught programmes, there is a “Vice-Chancellor Scholarship” worth up to £3,500 for international students. A “Full Fee Discount” is available: up to £1,000 discount for full-time undergraduate, postgraduate taught or MBA students who pay the total course fee by the deposit deadline. An “Alumni Scholarship” is available: 20% reduction in fees for students who previously completed an undergraduate degree at Cardiff Met (or its partner institutions) and now enroll on a taught postgraduate programme. The “Sanctuary Award” supports asylum seekers / those with humanitarian migration status: includes a full tuition fee waiver plus additional support (travel, laptop, meals) for selected undergrad or postgraduate students. Research / PhD scholarships The Research Degree Scholarships page mentions that studentships (for home & international students) are available, and that international students “will not be charged the fee difference between the UK and international rate” for certain WGSSS-funded studentships.   What you need to know (eligibility & requirements) Here are the key details you as an international student should pay attention to: Eligibility criteria The scholarships listed apply only to full fee-paying international students (i.e., students whose fee status is defined as “International / overseas”). The scholarships apply to full-time, on-campus programmes. Distance learning is not eligible. For the Undergraduate, MBA, Vice-Chancellor, Alumni scholarships: Students are entitled to one scholarship only — you cannot stack multiple Cardiff Met scholarships. For the Full Fee Discount: You must pay the full course fees (after any scholarships) by the deposit deadline for your intake in order to qualify. For the Sanctuary Award: Must meet specific status (asylum seeker, refugee, humanitarian protection etc.), have an offer to start the programme, be in the UK, etc. This award has a separate application form. For research studentships: International students are eligible but check each project’s terms (some may have conditions, UKRI eligibility etc)   Financial information / tuition fees For 2025/26, the fees for international students at Cardiff Met are listed as: Undergraduate degree (3-4 years): £16,000 per year. Top-up degree (1 year): £16,000. Postgraduate Master’s degree: £17,600. MBA (1 year): £19,500.   Application & process For the main scholarships (Undergraduate Scholarship, MBA Scholarship, Vice-Chancellor Scholarship, Full Fee Discount) no separate scholarship application form is required — “All International applicants will be automatically considered” when you apply for the course. The scholarship award is confirmed at point of offer. You will see it in your offer letter. You must accept your offer and pay the deposit by the specified deadline for the intake to ensure your scholarship/discount is maintained. If you defer, your eligibility may change. If your fee-status changes (e.g., becomes home/UK), you will no longer be eligible for the international scholarships.   My recommendation for you (if you’re an international applicant) Choose your course and intake (for example September 2026) and apply early. Ensure you are classified as International fee-payer, full-time, on-campus. After you receive your offer, check the offer letter to see which scholarship/discount is included and what your actual fee will be. Pay the deposit by the stated deadline to lock in any Full Fee Discount. Budget proactively: tuition after discount + living + visa + travel + contingency. If you are interested in research/PhD: look for funded studentship adverts (search “Research Degree Scholarships Cardiff Met”) and contact the school/department for opportunities. Consider additional funding from your country (home scholarships, loans) to supplement the university discount.

1) Vice-Chancellor Undergraduate Scholarship (2025/26) What: Up to £4,000 off tuition for 3-year bachelor degrees (and up to £5,000 off for 4-year integrated degrees such as MEng/MSci) for eligible international students starting September 2025 or January 2026.

Other combining rules/exclusions may apply.   2) Vice-Chancellor Postgraduate Scholarship (2025/26) What: A tuition fee reduction for international postgraduate entrants. (Public pages list the advertised saving for relevant intakes — for example some intake notices reference a £2,500 reduction for specific intakes in 2025/26). Check the intake page for the exact amount and which intakes it applies to.   3) International CU (campus-specific) scholarships CU Coventry, CU London and CU Scarborough run their own international scholarship / bursary pages (these can include campus-specific support or EU support bursaries). If you’re applying to a CU campus, check the campus page for bespoke awards and eligibility.   4) EU Support Bursary (CU campuses / transitional support) Some CU campuses are offering financial support for eligible EU students (on-campus full-time UG/PG) for particular academic years (check the campus page for details up to 2026/27 as published).   5) Alumni Discount What: Coventry University graduates who return for a postgraduate programme can receive a 25% discount off tuition fees from September 2025 (details and terms on the fees/funding page). Good to know if you plan multiple levels of study within Coventry.   6) Other commonly available discounts Early Payment Discount: early tuition payment discounts are often offered and may be combinable with some scholarships (rules vary). Direct Applicant / Country Scholarships: Coventry sometimes offers country-specific direct applicant scholarships — these are listed on course/country pages when available.   Typical eligibility & rules (what Coventry usually requires) Most of Coventry’s international scholarships follow these patterns (always confirm on the specific scholarship page for your intake): You must be classed as an international (overseas) fee-paying student (non-EU in many of the current offers). You usually must hold at least a conditional or unconditional offer from Coventry (offers for CU campuses are handled separately). Proof of payment / deposit: many scholarships require you to pay the required deposit by the deadline in your offer to be eligible. Cannot be combined with some offers: some scholarships cannot be combined with other large discounts (e.g., some Vice-Chancellor awards exclude other major discounts or pathway programmes). Exclusions: International Pathways / Foundation years, and 100% online courses (Coventry University Online) are commonly excluded from certain awards — check the fine print.   Deadlines & intake notes Scholarships are advertised for specific intakes (e.g., Sept 2025, Nov 2025, Jan 2026, Mar 2026, May 2025). Check the scholarship page for the exact intake you plan to start as amounts and eligibility sometimes vary by intake.   Practical tips to improve your chance of getting top scholarships Apply early and meet deposit deadlines (many offers require deposit payment to confirm scholarship eligibility). Show strong academic profile — many awards are merit-based. Have transcripts, references and any English test scores ready. Consider combined savings: sometimes smaller discounts (early payment + a smaller scholarship) can beat a single marginal scholarship — read combining rules carefully. If you’re a Coventry graduate, use the alumni discount for postgraduate study (25% from Sept 2025).

DMU publishes a number of scholarships and discounts for overseas students. Key ones include: Global Access Scholarship (2025/26 entry) For full-time undergraduate and postgraduate taught degrees, starting Sept 2025 or Jan 2026. Undergraduates: automatic if you meet criteria & pay deposit in time. Eg: Level 4, 5 or 6 entries get a fee reduction. Postgraduates: different amounts depending on subject area (e.g., Business & Law, Computing/Engineering & Media, Health & Life Sciences). Example values: UG £2,000 off; PG £2,000-£3,000 off depending on subject. Additional early full-fee payment discount: e.g., £500 extra if you pay full tuition before deposit deadline (for UG) in addition to Global Access. Global Partnerships Scholarship (2025/26 entry) For international students who are originating from or currently studying at one of DMU’s global academic partner institutions (for undergraduate entry). Awards include: 1 full scholarship (i.e., full tuition) + 8 awards of £8,000 for single year of study (UG). Requires a written submission as part of the application. Other international-student awards The “International Scholarship” / “International Scholarship Award” (earlier years) offering fee reductions for international students. Full-fee payment discount: If you pay full tuition (or full first-year fees) by a certain early deadline you may get an additional discount (for first year) in addition to other scholarships. Postgraduate Alumni Discount: If you are a DMU graduate pursuing certain postgraduate taught courses, you may get discount (for UK/EU students) — note: international fee status may differ.   Eligibility & Terms – what you must check Here are the main rules and conditions you should be aware of: The scholarship (for international students) applies only to those who are assessed by DMU as having “overseas international student status” and paying the overseas/ international fee rate. Some types of courses are excluded: e.g., International Year Zero, International First Year, International Foundation, Incorporated Master’s programmes are not eligible for many of these discounts/scholarships. A student can only receive one DMU scholarship for their programme. If a student qualifies for multiple, DMU will award the one that is most beneficial. Scholarships are usually applied to tuition fee remissions/discounts, not cash payments. They reduce your tuition bill rather than provide extra funding for living costs. For many scholarships you must have an offer on a full-time course, accepted it, and paid your deposit by a specified deadline. For example the Global Access scholarship says “automatically awarded … should you pay the deposit fee before the deposit deadline.” Always check individual scholarship terms: some require you to maintain certain grades, or remain full-time, or not interrupt studies. For example a terms & conditions PDF mentions if you interrupt your studies prior to completion of first year, the award may be pro-rated. Some discounts or scholarships may only apply in the first year of study, especially for postgraduate taught or for students entering at advanced levels. Eg: the “International Scholarship award will only be awarded during the first year of study” for certain awards.   Example scholarship values (2025/26) Here are some example amounts so you have a sense of what to expect: Global Access Scholarship: Undergraduates: e.g., £2,000 off (Level 4, Level 5, Level 6) for first year or entire duration if entering Year 1. Postgraduates: e.g., £2,000 for Art/Design/Humanities; £3,000 for Business & Law, Computing/Engineering & Media, Health & Life Sciences. Full-fee payment discount (UG): additional £500 if you pay full tuition early (first year) in addition to other scholarships. Global Partnerships Scholarship: full tuition for 1 award + £8,000 for 8 awards (for UG from eligible partner institutions).

See e.g., South East Asia Scholarship: “self-funding your course”. Full-time mode of study required for many: e.g., North American Postgraduate Scholarship: “full-time postgraduate taught master’s programme”. Some scholarships are restricted by domicile/nationality/residence (e.g., EU, South East Asia, USA/Canada). Check your country against the list. Some exclusions: For the EU Postgraduate Scholarship: not eligible if course >12 months (for Jan start) or studying MRes programmes or specified Master’s with placement etc Deposit requirement: For example, for South East Asia Scholarship you must have made the £6,000 deposit toward your fees to be eligible. Offer requirement: You must hold an unconditional or qualifying offer to study. E.g., South East Asia: “holding an offer to study a full-time Masters course in September 2025”. Important notes on fees, deposits and living costs International tuition fees vary by programme — check the course page. For 2025 deposit: International students are required to pay a non-refundable deposit (e.g., “for September 2025, the deposit amount will start at £6,000”) to secure place. Living costs requirement (UK Visas & Immigration) for Scotland: For a full-time course lasting 9 months or more you need to show evidence of £1,136 per month for up to 9 months = approx £10,224 plus any outstanding tuition fee amounts. Find-a-Fund system: Current students (including international) may access internal funds for hardship/financial support via the “Find-a-Fund” system.

1) Undergraduate — “New to GCU” international scholarships What: International fee-paying undergraduates studying full-time on GCU Glasgow campus are eligible for up to £2,500 per academic year as a tuition fee discount (applied at enrolment). Some awards may be automatic (assessed on application). Who can apply: Self-funding international students on eligible full-time on-campus UG courses. Check the course page for exclusions. How awarded & applied: No separate form required for many of these — eligibility is assessed during application and the discount is applied when you enrol. Always confirm via your offer letter or Scholarships team. 2) Postgraduate taught — “New to GCU” + Regional + Ambassador scholarships New to GCU Postgraduate scholarships: GCU runs a set of tuition-discount scholarships for international applicants starting postgraduate taught programmes; amounts and eligibility vary by nationality/region and intake (e.g., a regional scholarship for Malaysian nationals of ~£3,500 or a 10% waiver for other schemes). Some awards are automatic (assessed at application). Postgraduate Ambassador Scholarship: Full tuition for one or more international students who can demonstrate alignment with GCU’s mission for the Common Good (you must have an unconditional offer for a master’s at Glasgow or London campus and apply by the stated deadline). This is competitive — prepare a strong personal statement showing service, leadership and impact. Early payment discount: If you pay early you may be able to claim an additional 5% discount on fees over a threshold after other GCU scholarships are applied. 3) GREAT Scholarships (GCU + British Council / GREAT Campaign) What: Substantial awards — £10,000 tuition contribution for selected nationalities (GREAT Scholarships are co-funded with the UK Government/British Council). GCU has offered GREAT Scholarships for countries such as Kenya, Malaysia, Indonesia (check current eligibility). How to apply & deadline: GCU advertises country-specific GREAT Scholarships syllabuses and timelines; one round shows an application deadline of 1 Nov 2025 for January/September 2026 intakes. Apply to your programme and follow the GREAT application instructions on GCU’s GREAT scholarship page. 4) Loyalty & alumni discounts Loyalty discount: If you have previously graduated from GCU (or one of its founding institutions) you may be entitled to 30% off privately funded tuition for a subsequent UG or PG taught programme (not for research degrees). 5) Research & PhD funding (studentships) Where to find projects: GCU advertises funded PhD studentships and projects via its PhD opportunities search (Powered by FindAPhD) — filter by “funded”. Individual schools also run competitive studentships (e.g., NHS/industry co-funded, school allocations). Fees & stipends: Fees for international research students are published (example: PhD international fee ~ £17,200 per year for 2025/26 — verify the latest fee table on the research fees page). Studentships may cover fees and include a stipend — check each advert.   Eligibility, required documents & how to apply (step-by-step) Pick your campus & programme (Glasgow or GCU London; some scholarships are campus- or country-specific). Apply for the course through UCAS (UG) or GCU direct (PG) and obtain an offer (conditional/unconditional). Many GCU scholarships are assessed automatically from your application. Check your offer & student portal — scholarship discounts/eligibility details are normally shown in your offer letter or student portal. If the award requires an application (e.g., Ambassador Scholarship), follow the explicit application instructions and deadlines on the scholarship page. Common documents you’ll need: passport, proof of nationality, academic transcripts, degree certificates, English language evidence, personal statement (for competitive awards), CV, portfolio/audition (for creative courses), evidence of household income (for means-tested bursaries if any). Deadlines to note: GREAT Scholarship rounds and country/regional awards have specific deadlines (one GREAT round shows 01 Nov 2025). Regional PG scholarships often list deadlines around Jan 2026 for Sept 2026 entry; check the scholarship page for your country. If you’re applying for a PhD: search funded PhD projects on GCU’s PhD search, contact potential supervisors, and apply to the studentship following the project advert. Check whether the studentship covers fees and stipend.   Practical tips & realistic expectations Many GCU scholarships are automatic (assessed from your application)—so apply early and make sure your application is complete. Large awards exist but are competitive (e.g., GREAT £10k and Postgraduate Ambassador full-tuition). Prepare strong supporting statements that match GCU’s values (Common Good, employability, impact). Discounts vs full scholarships: Typical first-line help for international UG students is a tuition discount (e.g., up to £2,500/yr). Full tuition scholarships are rarer and competitive. Combine where allowed: GCU permits an early payment (5%) discount after other scholarships have been applied (check T&Cs). Loyalty discounts (30%) apply if you’re a GCU alum — excellent if you plan to return for further study. Check visa & funding rules: Discounts reduce the tuition you must show for a Student Route visa, but you must still meet overall maintenance funds; confirm with the Visa/International team.

1) Kingston University — International Scholarships What: A set of scholarships and bursaries for international undergraduate and postgraduate students — amounts and exact schemes vary by year, faculty and course. Many awards reduce first-year tuition (or provide a fixed discount). Who’s eligible: International (non-UK) students holding an offer to study at Kingston; specific awards have additional eligibility rules (e.g., faculty, nationality, academic merit).   2) GREAT Scholarships (Kingston & British Council partnership) What: A £10,000 tuition award (single awards to students from selected countries). Kingston offers GREAT Scholarships for selected countries (recent rounds included Indonesia, Thailand, Ghana, Kenya — country list changes by year). Typically available for full-time, one-year postgraduate taught degrees. Who’s eligible: Citizens of the named countries who have an offer for a qualifying postgraduate course at Kingston.   3) Postgraduate Progression Scholarship What: 15% fee reduction for Kingston undergraduate students who progress to a Kingston postgraduate degree (taught or research) starting the following academic year. Who’s eligible: Kingston undergrads graduating in a specified year (e.g., 2024/25) and receiving an offer to start a postgraduate course in the following intake.   4) Kingston University International Study Centre (ISC) — Global / Partial scholarships What: Partial tuition scholarships for students who take pathway/Foundation/ELP programmes at the Kingston ISC. These are often regionally allocated and awarded on a first-come first-served basis. Who’s eligible: Students with an offer to the ISC pathway who are not government-sponsored and meet the criteria for the regional award. Application usually via ISC admissions.   5) Faculty or small awards (example: Niloufar Ebrahim Scholarship) What: Smaller, faculty-level awards (e.g., up to £1,000 for certain postgraduate students in the Faculty of Business & Social Science) — availability and amounts change. Who’s eligible: Depends on the specific award (faculty, course, academic merit). These are university or donor funded and may run annually or periodically.   6) External UK & international scholarships students often use with Kingston GREAT (covered above via British Council). Chevening, Commonwealth, and other country/regional scholarships — these are external UK/global scholarships that can be used at Kingston if the university/degree meets the sponsor’s conditions. Always check sponsor rules.   Documents & common requirements (typical) Valid offer letter from Kingston University (required). Passport / proof of nationality (for country-specific awards like GREAT). Academic transcripts and degree certificates (for merit-based awards). Personal statement (short, 200–500 words) explaining why Kingston and how you’ll contribute. Some schemes ask for a 1-minute video.   Deadlines & timeframes Deadlines vary by scheme and year (GREAT scholarship windows are usually in spring/summer before the academic year; ISC awards operate year-round by intake). Because these change, always confirm the current year’s deadline on Kingston’s official pages.   Realistic expectations & tips to improve chances Many Kingston awards are partial tuition scholarships (some major, like GREAT, are large at £10,000). Expect competition. Apply early and have your offer letter ready — some awards are first-come. Strong academic record + clear purpose sells: tailor your statement to how the course links to your career and how you’ll represent Kingston. Demonstrate fit for faculty-level awards (e.g., show how your background matches the Business & Social Science faculty for the Niloufar Ebrahim award). Consider applying to external scholarships (Chevening, Commonwealth, country government awards) that can fully or partially fund study at Kingston.

Leeds Beckett provides a range of scholarships and fee discounts for international (non-UK) fee-paying students. These include: A general “International Student Scholarship” (automatic fee deduction) for many eligible full-time overseas students. More targeted awards for specific schools/subjects (for example the School of Arts) or high-achieving applicants. Country or region-specific scholarships (listed via a dropdown by country on the scholarship page). Additional discounts such as alumni discounts for graduates returning to study.   Key Scholarship Schemes & Their Details Here are some of the main scholarship types, with amounts, eligibility and how to apply. A. International Student Scholarship (General) What it is: A tuition fee discount for eligible international/overseas students. Amounts: Examples: Undergraduate: ~ £1,000 per year. Postgraduate taught: ~ £3,000 (first year only) for many courses. Research courses: ~ £1,500 per year for many eligible students.  Eligibility (general conditions): Must be assessed as “Overseas or EU” for fee purposes (i.e., paying international / overseas tuition). Must be studying full-time on a relevant eligible course. Must be self-funded (i.e., not fully sponsored by a third-party like employer/government) for that year. Must be studying that level of course for the first time (i.e., not repeating that year). How to apply: Typically no separate application form required — discount is automatically applied if you meet the criteria. Exceptions / Not eligible if: Courses or schemes with particular payment arrangements (franchise/partner-based delivery, overseas partner campuses) are often excluded. Part-time students, distance learning, students on placement years, or students repeating a year are frequently excluded.   B. School of Arts Scholarship (Postgraduate) What it is: Specific award for full-time taught Master’s (postgraduate) courses in the School of Arts at Leeds Beckett. Amount: Up to 50% tuition fee waiver for eligible students. Eligibility: Must be assessed as “Overseas or EU” (paying overseas fee). Must be full-time, first time at that level. For specific subject areas (e.g., MA Graphic Design, MA 3D Design, Fine Art, Fashion, etc.) and must apply by a specified deadline (e.g., 27 June 2025 for one listing). Must submit application for the course by deadline, then shortlisted applicants invited to interview and present a portfolio. How to apply: Apply for the postgraduate course via the online Applicant Portal. Make sure you receive an unconditional offer by the deadline (if specified).   C. Country / Region-Specific Scholarships & Dean’s Scholarships What it is: Additional higher value scholarships for specific countries/regions or for high-achieving students (“Dean’s Scholarship”). Example: one listing for South East Asia showed: Undergraduate: £1,000 per year for eligible students from that region Postgraduate: £5,000 (first year only) for eligible students from that region. Dean’s Undergraduate scholarship: £6,000 per year (for exceptional academic achievement) in that region example. Dean’s Postgraduate: 50% tuition fee discount in that region example. Eligibility: Usually require applicants to be from the named country/region, meet high academic standards, receive offer for the University, be self-funded, full-time. How to apply: Separate online form may be required (especially for “Dean’s” scholarships) along with your Applicant ID. The region-specific document shows “apply online for Dean’s Scholarship” in that example.   Eligibility Summary (what you must check) Here’s a handy checklist of eligibility items you must verify when you apply: You must be assessed as an international (overseas) student for tuition fee purposes at Leeds Beckett. Your course must be full-time (most scholarships exclude part-time or distance learning). You should be self-funded (i.e., your tuition is not fully paid by a sponsor/employer/government). Otherwise some automatic scholarships may exclude you. You should be studying that level of course for the first time (i.e., not repeating a year or level). Your course is eligible (check if your course type is excluded — e.g., PGDip/PGCert, some professional courses, distance learning). For some scholarships (subject/school or region specific), additional criteria apply: e.g., portfolio/interview, high academic performance, specific subject area, country of residence.   Important Additional Notes & Practical Advice Living costs matter: Apart from tuition scholarship, you must ensure you have enough funds to support living expenses (£ per month for visa). Leeds Beckett’s “Course Fees and Living Costs” page reminds you to budget for this. Scholarship amounts may vary by intake/year: The values listed are based on recent offers (for 2025 entry in many cases) and may change for future years. Automatic vs competitive: The general international scholarship is mostly automatic (if eligible), but the higher-value awards (Dean’s, subject-specific) are competitive and will require you to meet extra criteria (portfolio/interview etc.). Limited number of places: Some awards (e.g., School of Arts) list a fixed number of scholarships (e.g., 10 × 50% reductions) so early application is beneficial. Eligibility exclusions: Many “special arrangement” courses (franchise, partner delivery, distance learning) are excluded. Also, repeating years, placement years, part-time study often disqualify you. Combine your funding plan: While the scholarship helps reduce tuition, you still need to plan for accommodation, living, visa requirements. Also look for external scholarships (your country, government, private) and compare.   Example: What you might expect if you meet criteria Let’s take a hypothetical example: You’re an overseas student from India, accepted for a taught Master’s at Leeds Beckett, full-time, self-funded, first time at Master’s level. You check the “International Student Scholarship” page => you may receive ~ £3,000 off your first year’s tuition. You also check your subject school (e.g., if it’s School of Arts/design) => might qualify for the 50% fee waiver subject-specific scholarship if you apply, submit portfolio and meet deadlines. Your tuition after discount will be used in your visa financial planning (you still need funds for living costs). If eligible, you decide which scholarship to accept (highest value usually). You register, scholarship is applied, your invoice shows discounted tuition.

What isn’t available On the “Applying for admission” page of LABM the form clearly states: In the FAQ section under “Is there any financial assistance available?” LABM says they do not list scholarships – they only mention an interest-free payment plan for fees. So for LABM’s own programmes (especially online/distance) there appear to be no dedicated scholarships or fee-waivers for international students listed on their website.   What about partner or affiliated scholarships? There is a possibility (though not clearly listed) that LABM’s “Progression” or “University Top-up” partnerships might have some scholarship schemes through the partner university rather than LABM itself. But I found no explicit information on LABM facilitating scholarships for international students. Therefore if you are planning via LABM you will likely need to self-fund, or seek external scholarships (from your country, from government, from foundations) rather than rely on internal LABM scholarships.   What to do if you are an international student looking at LABM Since there are no internal scholarships clearly advertised, here are the checklist items: Confirm programme type: Are you enrolling in an online/distance course through LABM only, or is it a “university top-up” on-campus UK partner route? If on-campus, check visa, fees, living costs. Check fees & payment plan: LABM offers interest-free payment plans in some cases. Make sure to ask how many instalments, what the total cost. Check if partner university has scholarships: If you are doing a top-up via a partner university (UK campus) through LABM, check with that university whether they offer scholarships to international students. Seek external scholarship funding: Since LABM itself says no internal scholarships, look at: Government scholarships in your home country for studying abroad UK “international student scholarships” offered by other universities Private/foundation scholarships for your subject or region Document everything & ask for confirmation in writing: Since some offerings may change, always ask for confirmation: “Are there any scholarships or fee-waivers available to me as an international student on this specific course?” – directly to LABM admissions via email. Consider cost vs value: Especially if you’re paying full fees without a scholarship, check the credentials of the programme, recognition of the top-up university, how the credits transfer, what career outcomes are realistic.

LSBU Future Global Graduate Awards — umbrella name for several awards given as tuition fee discounts on acceptance (deposit/payment deadlines apply). Key elements below. Vice-Chancellor’s International Merit Award — £2,000 per year for undergraduate students with strong academic results (AAB-equivalent / ~75%+ in many international systems). Not available if you already receive another LSBU award. The Global Success Scholarship — up to £4,000 (varies by subject) available to international undergraduate and postgraduate taught students for the first year; awarded on acceptance + payment of deposit by the set deadline. The award can also speed up visa/CAS processing. European Impact Scholarship — £5,000 tuition fee discount per academic year for eligible European self-funded international students (applies for the entire duration of the UG/PGT programme). Check LSBU’s eligible countries table. Transnational Education (TNE) Partner Award — £5,000 per year automatically applied for students who progress from a recognised LSBU global partner institution within the past two years. CEG (Cambridge Education Group) Progression Award — £5,000 tuition fee discount for the first year for students progressing directly from an LSBU pathway programme delivered by CEG. PhD / Research Scholarships — LSBU offers Chancellor’s Scholarships (≈100 fee-waiver awards covering tuition for up to four years) and College-funded studentships (e.g., CTE studentships with stipend). Some PhD studentships include a stipend (£21,622 p.a. cited for 2025/26 CTE studentships). These are competitive and have their own application routes.   Who is eligible — the essentials Most international scholarships above require you to be a new, self-funded international fee-paying student enrolling on a full-time standard undergraduate (UG) or postgraduate taught (PGT) programme at LSBU. Vice-Chancellor award: academic threshold equivalent to AAB (or ~75%+ in many systems) and not already receiving another LSBU award. Global Success and many Future Global Graduate Awards: you must accept your offer and pay your deposit (LSBU mentions a typical deposit of £2,000) within a specified timeframe (often within four weeks of meeting conditions) to qualify. Read the T&Cs for exact payment/deadline rules. European Impact and TNE Partner awards have additional residency / partner-institution rules (check the eligible countries list and partner list on LSBU’s site).   How the awards are given / how to apply Most Future Global Graduate Awards are applied automatically when you accept an offer and pay the deposit by the set deadline — you do not always need a separate scholarship application form. Always confirm the exact process for your course with LSBU Admissions. PhD scholarships: application is usually via the Doctoral College / school-specific calls — many are assessed on your PhD application, research proposal and supervisor fit; some rounds are rolling until places are filled.   Typical documents you’ll need / checklist Official offer of admission from LSBU (CAS/offer letter). Academic transcripts / certificates (to demonstrate the grade threshold for merit awards). Passport / ID. Evidence of deposit payment (e.g., £2,000 deposit receipt) — important because many awards require payment by a deadline. For progression / partner awards: evidence of studying at the partner institution (transcript or completion certificate). For PhD scholarships: research proposal, references, CV, publications (if any).   Important deadlines & timing notes LSBU states awards are given on acceptance and receipt of the deposit by a set deadline. The exact deposit deadline can vary by intake and scholarship; always check your offer email and LSBU’s scholarship terms for the intake year. (LSBU’s pages and T&Cs explain the payment/timeframe rules.) PhD Chancellor’s Scholarships are often reviewed on a rolling basis until all places are filled — apply early.   Value estimates (examples) Vice-Chancellor’s International Merit Award: £2,000 per year (UG). Global Success Scholarship: up to £4,000 (first year; UG & PGT; varies by subject). European Impact / TNE Partner / CEG Progression awards: typically £5,000 (either per year or for the first year, depending on which award). PhD CTE studentships: stipend £21,622 p.a. (2025/26 rate) for certain studentships; Chancellor’s Scholarships may be tuition fee waivers.   Practical tips (student-friendly) Accept + pay deposit early if you want to lock in Global Success / Future Global awards — many grants are contingent on deposit receipt. Keep receipts and screenshots. Check eligibility carefully (country lists, partner lists, and the difference between awards that are per-year vs first-year only). LSBU provides tables and full terms — read them. If you’re a pathway / OnCampus student, explore OnCampus → LSBU progression scholarships (e.g., OnCampus Success Scholarship progression offers). These are sometimes separate but complementary routes. For PhD applicants: apply early to the Doctoral College and target scholarships that match your school; some studentships buy project-specific fees + stipend. If uncertain, contact LSBU Admissions / International Office and ask which award you’ll automatically be considered for vs which needs a separate application — keep the reply email as a record.

1) International scholarships & merit awards (MDX London) What: MDX runs a set of international scholarships and merit awards which typically give tuition-fee reductions (ranges and names vary by year and by course). Many of these are considered automatically when you apply and are awarded for academic merit. Typical award values reported publicly range from £1,000 up to several thousand pounds (often applied to first-year fees or across years depending on the scheme). Who’s eligible: International (non-UK) fee-paying applicants holding an offer to study on an eligible full-time course at MDX London (distance, apprenticeship and some pathway programs may be excluded — check the specific scheme).   2) GREAT Scholarships (British Council partnership) What: MDX participates in the GREAT Scholarships programme in some years — these are high-value awards for students from specific countries and subject areas (amounts and eligible countries vary by year; in past rounds MDX offered large awards tied to specific subject areas). These are competitive and limited in number. Who’s eligible: Citizens of the named eligible countries (check the current British Council GREAT list for MDX) with an offer for an eligible full-time taught postgraduate course.   3) Alumni discounts & postgraduate awards What: MDX offers alumni discounts on taught postgraduate and research degrees (for example, an alumni fee reduction is often available). There are also postgraduate-specific awards and faculty scholarships. Who’s eligible: Graduates of MDX who apply for further study at MDX and meet the stated conditions.   4) Campus-specific grants / international study grants (MDX Dubai / MDX Mauritius) What: MDX has branch campuses (Dubai and Mauritius) that operate campus-specific scholarships such as International Study Grants or Academic Excellence Scholarships (amounts and types differ — Dubai often publishes percentage discounts, Mauritius publishes fee waivers/bursaries). Who’s eligible: Depends on campus and the specific scholarship — often international applicants to that campus, or students who pay deposit by a certain date   5) Other funding routes often used by MDX students External scholarships (Chevening, Commonwealth, government sponsorships) — if you are eligible for Chevening or Commonwealth scholarships you can use these to study at MDX (these are awarded by external bodies, not the university). Short-term travel/grants for current students (e.g., Santander / Global Opportunities funds for study visits). These are typically for MDX students already enrolled who want to go on a study visit/exchange.   Eligibility — the common conditions you’ll see Must be an international (non-UK) tuition fee payer for most international scholarships. Usually full-time study at a UK MDX campus (exceptions for campus-specific grants). Academic merit: many awards require a strong academic record (e.g., high GPA or expected grades). Nationality / country lists: country-restricted awards (like GREAT) require proof of nationality and are limited to specific countries in each call. Sponsorship exclusions: students already fully sponsored by an employer/government may be ineligible for some MDX awards.   Documents you’ll commonly need Passport (proof of nationality). Official academic transcripts and degree certificates (translated if not in English). Offer letter (from MDX). Short personal statement (200–500 words) / CV — if a scholarship asks for a written case.   Deadlines & timing — what to keep in mind Deadlines vary: GREAT scholarships and some campus grants have fixed application windows; general merit awards are often assessed automatically at offer stage. Always check the MDX scholarship page for the latest intake dates and deadlines.   Realistic expectations & tips to improve chances Most MDX international awards are partial tuition reductions — they make study more affordable but rarely cover all costs or living expenses. Plan your full budget (fees after scholarship + living costs + visa). Apply early and hold a formal offer — many awards require an offer to be in place. Show academic strength and clarity of purpose in any short statement — scholarship panels want to see how the course fits your career goals. Look at campus options (London vs Dubai vs Mauritius) — different campuses run different scholarships; Dubai often advertises percentage discounts and Dubai/Mauritius have campus-specific grants. Consider external scholarships (Chevening, Commonwealth, national government funds) which can cover substantial costs — these require separate applications to the sponsor.

International Student Scholarship — September entry Typical award: £2,000 (for new, full-time, international fee-paying students at undergraduate and 1–2 year postgraduate levels for September start). Eligibility limited to students starting in the specified September entry year. International Student Scholarship — January entry Similar scheme for students starting in January (check the page for precise eligibility and the year it applies to). International Student Scholarship — CAS Ready A £3,000 scholarship was offered (example for encouraging early CAS readiness). Eligibility included being “CAS Ready” on CAS Shield by a specified date or meeting offer conditions and deposit deadlines. These promotions can be time-limited — check the page for the current year’s deadline. GREAT Scholarships (external, UK-wide programme) Oxford Brookes participates in the GREAT Scholarships programme (for example, scholarships worth £10,000 for certain countries such as Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan for taught master’s programmes in 2024–25). These have country-specific eligibility and limited numbers; application routes differ (often via the university’s postgraduate application). Programme-specific and partner scholarships Brookes lists programme/partner awards (e.g., IOP Publishing Scholarship, university departmental scholarships). Award values vary (example: IOP Publishing Scholarship listed at £5,000 for eligible postgraduate students — note application windows may close). External / international partner deals Brookes sometimes has partner or institution-specific scholarships (for example, targeted offers for graduates of partner universities or regional agreements). These are announced separately and often have bespoke eligibility criteria.   Who is eligible (general rules) You must be a new, full-time, international fee-paying student for the relevant start date (undergraduate or specified postgraduate programmes), unless the award explicitly includes home students. Always confirm the award page for that intake. Some scholarships are entry-date specific (September vs January) or time-limited (e.g., CAS Ready by a specific date). External scholarships (like GREAT) require applicants to be from eligible countries and to meet the scholarship’s own rules (e.g., course type: taught master’s). Programme-level awards may require a specific offer by a deadline, particular grades, or specific prior institutions/partnerships.   Where the money shows up — how awards are applied Most tuition scholarships are credited against tuition fees (amount deducted from your tuition invoice). Some awards can be cash payments for living costs — check each award’s terms and conditions. Always read the terms (award type: tuition reduction vs. cash)   Important tips & practical advice Start with the Funding Finder — it’s tailored to show funding you’re eligible for. Keep evidence ready (passport, offer letter, transcripts, proof of CAS readiness, deposit receipt) — many scholarships require proof by a deadline. Apply early — some scholarships are limited in number and awarded on a first-come basis or by a shortlisting process. If an award requires being “CAS Ready,” aim to complete the steps early. Check external scholarships (GREAT, country scholarships, government schemes) — these can substantially lower costs but often have their own application windows. If you’re a postgraduate applicant, search for departmental studentships or research council funding if you’re doing research degrees — these often appear on department pages.

International Undergraduate Scholarships / Liberal Arts Awards — Richmond’s Liberal Arts Awards (celebrating their liberal-arts model) are available to international undergraduate applicants and can reduce annual tuition. Amounts and availability vary by intake; retention is conditional on academic progress and engagement. International Postgraduate Scholarships — Richmond advertises a suite of postgraduate awards for international students; award level is based on academic profile (GPA / equivalent). Specific reductions and which intakes they apply to are listed on the postgraduate funding pages for the intake year. Country / Residency specific awards — Richmond provides different pages and awards for UK/EU, US and international fee statuses (some awards are specifically for US students, UK/EU, etc.). Check the page that matches your fee-status. Other awards & bursaries — Richmond runs targeted bursaries (e.g., Cyril Taylor Bursaries for certain students) and alumni discounts for postgraduate study.   How Richmond decides & applies scholarships (important mechanics) Automatic review after your offer: once you have an offer to study at Richmond, the university will normally automatically review you for scholarship eligibility (you often do not need a separate scholarship application unless specified). Always check the specific scholarship page for that award’s rules. Merit basis (academic achievement): many international awards use your academic record (GPA / grades) to set award levels. Postgraduate awards page explicitly states award level is based on academic achievement. Retention conditions & renewal: scholarships are usually renewable provided you maintain required academic standards and full-time enrolment. Richmond’s scholarship policy notes renewable awards up to a maximum number of semesters and academic standing requirements. Combination/exclusions: some postgraduate awards cannot be combined with other university funding.   Typical eligibility rules (what you’ll need) Overseas/international fee status (check which award applies to your fee status). An offer to study — conditional or unconditional (most awards require an offer). Richmond reviews eligible applicants after offers are made. Strong academic record — transcripts/grades that meet the award’s merit thresholds. Postgraduate awards list GPA/grade thresholds for top awards. Full-time enrolment — many awards require you to remain full-time; part-time study can make you ineligible or lead to losing the award. Participation / engagement — some undergraduate awards require ongoing engagement in university life and meeting minimum GPA to retain the award.   Known examples / sample amounts (what Richmond publishes) UK Liberal Arts Award (example for UK students): Richmond’s UK scholarship example reduces the standard UK tuition fee from £9,250 to £6,165 (a £3,085 saving per year). International postgraduate awards: Richmond states that international postgraduate awards exist and that the level of award depends on academic achievement; however, most international award values are not listed as a single fixed table on a single page — they vary by intake and programme.   Deadlines & timing — what to watch for Richmond recommends early application for merit scholarships and notes specific application/deadline guidance for some awards (for example the US Richmond Scholars deadline elsewhere may be Dec 1 — if you’re applying for merit-based or need-considered awards, apply early). Always check the scholarship page for your intake’s deadlines.   Practical tips to improve your chance of the best awards Apply early and aim to submit a complete application well before intake deadlines. Submit strong academic evidence (transcripts, references, any awards). Merit awards are competitive. Keep full-time enrolment and meet GPA/engagement conditions to retain renewable scholarships. Read the scholarship policy for GPA thresholds. Ask admissions for clarity — if the award value or combining rules aren’t public for your programme, request a written confirmation of how the scholarship will appear on your invoice and whether it affects CAS or visa paperwork. Look for external scholarships too — Richmond’s pages and external scholarship directories list outside funding schemes you may apply to.

1. International Scholarships (overseas fee-paying students) What: A tuition-fee reduction of £500 to £5,000 off your first year’s tuition fees for eligible international students. Who’s eligible: You must be a fee-paying international (overseas) student (i.e., non-UK fee status) with an offer to study an undergraduate or postgraduate taught programme. You must submit a complete application including personal statement and supporting documents. The scholarship is not available for: short courses; exchange/study abroad programmes; franchised programmes; Pre-Masters; international foundation programmes; pre-sessional English. How to apply: No separate scholarship application; you’ll automatically be assessed once your application for study is complete and you receive an offer. How much: Amount determined by your course and eligibility, shown in your offer letter if awarded. Range: £500-£5,000 off first year’s tuition. Special notes: It is for first-year only (unless stated otherwise). It is discretionary (a university decision) and not all applicants get the maximum amount.   2. Alumni / Loyalty Discounts & Global Campus Scholarship Scheme Global Campus Scholarship Scheme: This is for graduates of UEL or UEL’s Global Campus / partner institutions who want to undertake postgraduate taught or research programmes at UEL. Discounts: Graduates moving directly (no gap year) and achieving certain honours: Up to 25% off tuition. Graduates with some gap or lower result: 10% discount. Eligibility: Must normally have completed an undergraduate or postgraduate degree (or be from a partner institution) recognised by UEL. Applies to postgraduate full-time/part-time study at UEL campus. Application: No separate application, the discount is applied automatically if eligible. Note: This is more of a “loyalty/alumni” discount, rather than a general international award for new students. Alumni Scholarship / Discount: If you already studied at UEL you may be eligible for postgraduate fee discount (for example 15-25% of tuition) when progressing directly. While relevant, this is less likely to apply to an international student who is coming fresh to UEL (unless you are a UEL graduate).   3. Early Payment Discount & Course-specific / Sports Scholarships Early Payment Discount: For international students, UEL offers a 5% discount on tuition if you pay your undergraduate or postgraduate tuition in full before a specified date (e.g., mid-September) for the starting year. Note: This is not strictly a “scholarship” but a payment-timing discount; you must pay fees in full by the deadline. Sports Scholarships: UEL offers sport-related bursaries for international (non-EU) students: up to £6,000 a year plus support services if you qualify as a high-performance athlete. This is very specific (sports eligible, must be high calibre athlete) and may not apply to many applicants.   Quick Eligibility Summary for International Students You must be assessed as overseas / international fee-paying (non-UK) for many of the international scholarships. Must hold an offer from UEL for an eligible course (undergraduate or postgraduate taught) and have submitted all required application materials. (No missing personal statement/supporting docs) The scholarship must apply to your type of course: full-time (often), undergraduate or postgraduate taught; excludes short courses, foundation programmes, pre-Masters, franchised programmes etc. For alumni/loyalty discounts: must meet criteria like UEL graduate or global partner institution, direct progression etc. For payment-based discount: pay full tuition early by the deadline. Note: Whether you’re eligible for the maximum award depends on your course, your academic standing, the department’s offer and internal assessment.   Important Details, Timeframes & Things to Watch For the International Scholarship (£500-£5,000): The scheme is already approved for September 2025 intake and winners are being notified (as of the latest update) — so eligible applicants should act early. Remember: Not all courses/programmes are eligible (e.g., foundation, pre-Masters, franchise/partner institution courses are excluded). The exact amount (£500 to £5,000) depends on your course, fee amount, the department’s budget and assessment. The early payment discount requires full tuition payment by a specific date — if you cannot pay in full, you may lose the discount. For living costs: Even with tuition scholarship, you’ll need to budget for living expenses (especially in London). The university mentions cost-of-living support. Check the fee status: Some programmes may assess you as UK/home fee status (less common for international students) — ensure you’re clear whether you are non-UK fee payer. If you change your programme after enrolment, check whether the scholarship/discount remains valid. Always keep documentation of your scholarship or discount (offer letter, email) for visa/immigration if needed.

International Scholarship Award This award offers a tuition fee discount of up to £2,500 (or possibly a higher amount in some cases) for international students starting in the January 2026 intake. Eligibility: You must hold an offer to begin a full-time undergraduate or taught postgraduate course at Greenwich in January 2026. You must be paying international tuition fees (i.e., assessed as an overseas fee payer). You must not be receiving another scholarship from the University or another source. You must be domiciled in one of certain specified countries: the current list includes India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ghana. (Note: other regions have a separate “Regional Scholarship Award”). Key conditions: The award is a fee reduction for the first year only. Subsequent years will be charged full tuition. The award cannot be used instead of your required deposit payment (i.e., you must still pay the deposit). You must pay your tuition fee deposit (or accept offer if sponsored) within 21 days of being notified, in order to secure the scholarship. The intake is non-deferrable — if you defer to a later intake, you may lose the award. Allocation may depend on programme availability / demand — the Scholarship team may withdraw applications for certain programmes when demand is high. Application: There is a separate application form you must complete for this award. Timing is important (there are rounds with deadlines).   Regional Scholarship Award For international students domiciled in specified regions outside the above list (for example the Americas, MENA, East Asia, Central Asia, East Africa, Europe excluding the EU). Available for January 2026 intake only (for the call listed). Eligibility: Offer for full-time undergraduate or taught postgraduate in the January intake. International tuition fee payer. Paid the required £3,000 deposit. Must not hold any other University scholarship or bursary. Award: It is a tuition fee reduction for the first year only. Subsequent years revert to full fees. This award is automatic (no separate application) once criteria are met and deposit paid.   International Hardship Fund This isn’t a standard scholarship but a discretionary support fund for international and EU students who are in unexpected financial difficulty (emergency short-term costs). Eligibility: You must be an international fee-paying student or EU student without a maintenance loan. Must be fully registered at the University. Cannot apply in the first semester of first year (for new entrants). Must demonstrate that you have made adequate provision for tuition fees + living costs before you started the course; the fund is for unforeseen costs. Value: Up to £1,000 per academic year.   External / National Scholarships (Partner Schemes) The University of Greenwich also lists support for major external national programmes such as the Chevening Scholarships. These are not run by the University but you can apply while studying at Greenwich (or using Greenwich as your UK institution). These external awards often cover full tuition, living costs, etc. (depending on the scheme) and have very competitive selection.   Eligibility & General Conditions — What you should check Here’s a summary of the common conditions you need to satisfy in order to benefit from these scholarships: You must hold an offer of admission for a full-time undergraduate or taught postgraduate programme at the University of Greenwich in the specified intake (e.g., January 2026) for that scholarship if required. You must be assessed as paying international tuition fees (i.e., not UK/“home” fee status). You must pay the deposit required (e.g., £3,000) within the timeframe set by the university. Without meeting the deposit requirement the scholarship may be withdrawn. You must not already be in receipt of another scholarship from the University of Greenwich (or other external funding, depending on scheme) unless the scheme allows stacking. Most schemes say you cannot combine them. The awards typically apply to the first year only (or first year of the programme) – you’ll pay full fees in subsequent years unless otherwise specified. The awards are non-deferrable (in many cases) — if you defer your study to a later year or intake, the scholarship may not be available. For hardship funds: You must show genuine unexpected costs; these are not intended as primary funding sources. Understand that meeting eligibility does not guarantee the award — selection depends on availability, competition, demand for courses, deadlines, and meeting all conditions.

UH offers a number of scholarships and tuition-discount schemes for students classified as international for fee purposes. Some of the key awards include: Chancellor’s International Scholarship – For first-time international fee-paying students (UG or PG taught) joining UH in the UK. Amounts vary between £500 to £4,000. UG Tri Annual Scholarship – For international undergraduate students joining a full-time UG taught programme at UH’s UK campus. Discount of £1,500 per year (for each year of the programme) up to a total (e.g., £4,500 for a 3-yr degree, £6,000 for a 4-yr) for those who meet conditions. Vice Chancellor’s Regional Scholarship – For international postgraduate taught students joining UH in the UK, one-off tuition fee reduction, based on country Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), for first-time enrolment. QS Stars Excellence Scholarship – Merit-based for international postgraduate taught students joining UH for the first time in the UK campus; you must apply for this one. Full Payment Discount – Not strictly a “scholarship” but a tuition-fee discount: international students who pay their full tuition fee by a set deadline may get a £1,000 deduction. Sports Scholarships and other subject-specific or talent-based awards – e.g., UH’s Sports Scholarship Scheme for athletes (international students may apply).   Fee status & first-time study You must be classified as an international (overseas) fee-paying student by UH. Most of these scholarships are for first-time enrolment at UH (i.e., you are joining UH for the first time, not transferring or returning). For example, Chancellor’s International Scholarship says: “applicants … offered and accepted a place on a full-time award-bearing University of Hertfordshire programme and be paying the full cost of the tuition fee from their own resources.”   Course type & campus The UG Tri Annual Scholarship is specifically for undergraduate taught courses at UH UK campus, not work-placement or study abroad years, and not necessarily for advanced entry or online courses Some scholarships (e.g., Chancellor’s) are not available for certain schools/courses. For example, the Chancellor’s International Scholarship excludes some courses in the School of Health & Social Work.   Automatic vs application required Some awards are automatically applied — you do not need to submit a separate scholarship application. For example, Chancellor’s International Scholarship is noted as “You do not need to apply … we automatically assess your course application”. Others require a separate application form (for instance, QS Stars Excellence Scholarship) and meeting additional criteria.   Conditions & combinations Many awards apply only in the first year of your programme (especially PG awards, or first-time entrants) and may not renew for subsequent years. For example, Vice Chancellor’s Regional Scholarship is a one-off tuition fee reduction for first-year only. Some scholarships cannot be combined with others. The UH page states that for the UG Tri Annual Scholarship, you cannot qualify for any other scholarships or discounts (unless exceptionally awarded by the university) alongside it. The discount is applied against tuition fee debt once you register — not from your deposit amount. For example UG Tri Annual Scholarship: “… will be offset against tuition fee debt once applicants register … not from their deposit amount.” Students who withdraw or are discontinued may have the award adjusted on pro-rata basis.   Application & residency Some awards will only be awarded once you have met all registration conditions, accepted the offer, and paid any required deposit. Ensure your application includes strong academic credentials, English language proficiency, and meet any personal statement or motivation criteria (for automatic awards these may be implicitly assessed). For example the eligibility for Chancellor’s International: assesses “academic and English language criteria as well as personal statements and personal circumstances.”

1. Merit-Based International Scholarships For full-time, self-funding international students (undergraduate & postgraduate taught). Amount: up to £4,000 per year (for eligible programmes) for international students meeting academic criteria. Example breakdown (for postgraduate taught programmes): £4,000 for first (Hons) equivalent undergraduate degree £3,000 for upper second (2:1) equivalent £2,000 for lower second (2:2) equivalent For undergraduate applicants: also up to £4,000/year based on A-level (or equivalent) performance. No extra separate “scholarship application” in many cases—if you meet criteria and your application is in, you may be considered automatically. Cannot normally be combined with other University or external scholarships.   2. Progression/Pathway Scholarships (via International Study Centre) If you join via the University of Huddersfield International Study Centre (ISC) and then progress to a full degree at Huddersfield, you may be eligible for a progression scholarship. Example details: After completion of the pathway programme (Foundation Year, Year One, Pre-Master’s), based on grades you could receive: Pass (40-58%) → £2,000/year Pass with Merit (59-68%) → £3,000/year Pass with Commendation (69%+) → £4,000/year The scholarship typically applies to each academic year of the degree (excluding placement years). But there are some exclusions (e.g., for certain subject areas or degrees).   3. Specialist / Other Scholarships There is mention of sport & athletic scholarships (for talented student-athletes) at Huddersfield, for example: up to £1,000/year for an “Elite Scholarship” for sports at the university Also some named scholarships such as the GREAT Scholarship (in partnership with the British Council) for certain eligible countries.   Eligibility & application – what you must meet Here are the key criteria and steps you’ll need to check/complete. Eligibility Criteria Most of the merit-based awards share similar criteria: Be international fee-paying student (i.e., non-UK/ROI student paying full overseas fees) Be self-funding your studies (not already fully sponsored by a government, company or organisation). Be applying for a full-time taught programme (undergraduate or postgraduate taught). For postgraduate: “Master’s by Research”, “Master’s with placement” or certain professional courses may be excluded. Meet the academic requirement: For postgraduate taught: e.g., at least 2:1 or equivalent for a bachelor degree (for the highest awards) etc. For undergraduate: high school grades/A-levels or equivalent Meet the English language and academic entry requirements for the chosen programme. (Normal admission requirements plus scholarship criteria.) Some awards: progression scholarships require completion of the ISC pathway and meeting required grades, and exclude certain subject areas (e.g., some Health & Life Sciences may be excluded).   How to Apply & Receive For many merit-based scholarships: there is no separate scholarship application. If you apply for the programme and meet the criteria, you are typically automatically considered and the scholarship offer is included in your offer letter. For progression scholarships (ISC route): you first enrol in the ISC pathway, complete it, progress to the main degree, and based on grades you’ll receive the scholarship (automatically) If awarded, the scholarship details will often be included in your offer letter from the university. Make sure you check the offer letter carefully for scholarship value, conditions, and whether it's for each year or only first year. Some awards cannot be combined with other scholarships – so if you accept another scholarship or discount, that may affect your eligibility.   Requirements & Documents to prepare Your offer of admission from University of Huddersfield. Your academic transcripts/certificates showing previous qualifications (to meet the grade/degree requirement). Evidence of being self-funded (if required) and paying full international fees. For progression scholarships: your pathway programme completion certificate and grades. For visa purposes: if you are receiving a scholarship from the university, make sure it is correctly noted in your CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) so that UKVI will recognise it. Good time-management: apply for your programme, meet any deadlines, ensure you accept the offer and meet any deposit/payment deadlines if required (even if not explicitly stated for scholarship, but for admission).   Value, durations & special conditions These merit scholarships (up to £4,000) may apply each year of study (for undergraduate) except placement years. For postgraduates: often the scholarship is for the first year of the taught master’s. The university should clarify in offer letter. Progression scholarships (ISC route) apply to each academic year of degree (excluding placement years) once you progress successfully. For sports scholarships: e.g., up to £1,000/year plus free gym membership, performance analysis etc. But these are separate, not necessarily large enough to cover full tuition. Some scholarships may have exclusions: e.g., certain subject areas (Health & Life Sciences, Nursing) might not qualify for some progression scholarship amounts. Important: Scholarships cannot always be combined with other university or external scholarships — check your offer letter carefully for the “cannot be combined” terms.   How to maximise your chances Apply early for your course, ensure your offer is made well ahead so you’re eligible for any scholarship included. Achieve strong academic grades (high school for UG, bachelor degree for PG) — the higher your previous achievement, the better the scholarship value. If you’re eligible for the ISC pathway route, performing well in that pathway (Foundation/Year One) can unlock the progression scholarship. Ensure your financial status (self-funding), deposit/payment timelines, and visa documentation are ready and in order. Read the “fine print” for your specific course: scholarship value, annual continuation criteria, placement year clauses, etc. Keep track of your fees and scholarship state each year: when is the scholarship applied, does it reduce your tuition fee directly or is it given as a discount, etc. If you have an offer letter with scholarship conditions, keep a copy, and track your enrolment + payment schedule accordingly.

Chevening applications are made via the Chevening programme (external). Commonwealth Scholarships: USW accepts Commonwealth Scholars and the CSC site gives the full details (these are competitive national awards that can include fees, living costs and travel). Global Wales Postgraduate Scholarships and partner programmes: Wales-wide scholarships (Global Wales/British Council partnerships, Global Wales flagship scholarships) have been offered to international students to study a one-year master’s in Wales — amounts historically have been up to several thousand pounds (and sometimes up to £10k in scheme descriptions), and eligibility/priority countries vary year to year. These are administered centrally or by the partner and individual universities (watch for May/June application windows in past years). Always check Global Wales / Universities Wales / Study in Wales pages and the USW Global Wales info for current calls.   Key eligibility rules & exceptions (must-know) Scholarships apply to self-funding international fee-paying students. If you are government-sponsored or company-sponsored, those particular USW scholarships generally do not apply. Scholarships do not apply to English language courses or placement years. Some research/PhD/MBA/DBA courses are excluded from particular discounts (read the relevant scholarship wording). Deposit/payment requirement: you must normally pay the minimum deposit stipulated in your offer by the date on your Acceptance Form to secure your scholarship. CAS readiness matters for the Early CAS bonus — be aware of the timing/cut-offs.   Practical application checklist (what to do now) Apply for your course at USW as early as possible (scholarship consideration is automatic on admission). Read the offer letter carefully for which scholarship has been applied and deposit & CAS instructions. Paying the deposit on time secures the scholarship. If you’re from an eligible country for the Chancellor’s award, check the country list on USW’s Chancellor page to confirm eligibility. If you are an asylum seeker or have limited leave to remain and meet the Sanctuary criteria, prepare the required evidence and watch for the USW Sanctuary Scholarship email link after you accept an offer. If you’re aiming for Global Wales / Chevening / Commonwealth, start their separate application processes early (their deadlines are external to USW and sometimes have annual windows).

1) Global Leaders Scholarship (2025/26) What: A tuition-fee reduction for eligible international applicants (exclusions apply by region). Amounts: Undergraduate students receive £5,000 off annual tuition (i.e., up to £15,000 across a 3-year degree). Postgraduate students receive £4,500 off course tuition. How awarded: The page says the discount will be applied automatically to eligible applicants; it’s available for a limited time and subject to availability. 2) General international “Overseas” offer / tuition-fee discount The University’s international recruitment pages confirm an ongoing offering of £5,000 tuition fee reduction (UG) / £4,500 (PG) for eligible international students studying on-campus in specified intakes (not applied to preparation or pre-sessional courses). This is prominently promoted to overseas applicants. 3) Other scholarships, bursaries & campus-specific awards Sunderland lists a broad set of bursaries and scholarships: some are automatic if you meet criteria (e.g., academic achievement awards), others require an application (subject-specific awards, hardship funds, the St Nicholas’ Educational Trust awards, etc.). Some awards — like the “Just Add You” bursary — are specifically for home students, so check eligibility carefully. 4) Undergraduate & postgraduate central pages The University publishes separate UG and PG scholarship pages listing which awards are automatic and which need application; these pages are the authoritative starting points for eligibility rules and application steps.   Who is eligible (common rules & important exclusions) Eligible international applicants: The £5,000/£4,500 reductions are targeted at eligible international applicants studying on campus (details and excluded regions are listed on the Global Leaders page — e.g., some regions such as East Asia, Gulf states, Europe may be excluded from a particular round). Always check the specific scholarship terms on the official page for the intake you’re applying to. Home/EU-only awards: Several bursaries and access funds (Fair Access, Just Add You, etc.) are restricted to home (UK) fee status or to UK-resident/EU settled status; those are not available to most overseas international fee-paying students. Read the small print. Automatic vs application: Some awards (e.g., certain fee reductions) are automatic if you meet criteria; others require a formal application and supporting documents (personal statements, evidence of income, audition/portfolio for creative courses, etc.)   Documents you’ll likely need Passport / proof of nationality and residency. Offer letter and course details. Academic transcripts and certificates. English language evidence (IELTS/other) as required. Portfolio/audition material for creative courses (if scholarship assesses talent). Proof of deposit payment (if required to secure a discount). Proof of household income (for means-tested bursaries, where allowed).   Deadlines & timing (practical notes) Many fee reductions and Global Leaders offers are time-limited and may be “subject to availability.” Check the Global Leaders page and the international tuition pages for the exact intake you plan to join. Always accept and pay deposits early if a discount requires it. Scholarships that require application will have specific closing dates posted on the relevant scholarship page; some bursaries for enrolled students are awarded after registration.   Realistic expectations for international applicants Good news: The University of Sunderland offers meaningful tuition reductions for many international applicants (not just token amounts). The £5,000 UG / £4,500 PG reductions are significant and reduce overall cost. Caveat: Several attractive named bursaries and access funds are limited to home/EU fee status students — so do not assume all awards are open to overseas fee-paying students. Always confirm the small print.   Extra funding routes you should consider External scholarships (government & private in your home country). Research studentships if you’re applying for PhD (departmental / DTP funding advertised on PG pages). Part-time work (where visa rules permit) to help living costs. Student loans or sponsor funding from employers/foundations in your country. Contact the International Team — they can confirm whether a specific scholarship will appear on your offer.

1) Enhanced International Scholarships — (headline offer for 2025/26) What it is: A limited number of places with an enhanced international scholarship for selected undergraduate and taught-master’s programmes at UWS Scottish and London campuses. Value: For eligible programmes in 2025/26 the net tuition fee payable is £10,950 (this represents a c.30–40% scholarship off the usual international tuition). Who can apply: Self-funding international applicants applying to selected UWS degree programmes at Scottish campuses (so check whether your chosen programme at Lanarkshire appears in the list of eligible courses). How to get it: Apply for your chosen programme as soon as possible; these scholarships are limited and allocated on a first-come / eligibility basis — secure your offer to be considered. The scholarship details are published on UWS’s Scholarships hub. 2) UWS Global Scholarships (merit-based) What they are: Merit awards for high-achieving international applicants (both UG and PG have featured Global Scholarships in previous years). Typical value: Historically around £1,500 (either per year for UG or a one-off PG award). Amounts/availability change year to year. Eligibility: Academic excellence in prior study (high grades), and you must be an international (non-UK) fee-paying applicant. Limited number available — awarded on merit. 3) Country / partner specific awards What to watch for: UWS runs occasional country-specific campaigns (for example, scholarship pools for applicants from the USA or other partner markets), and mobility/exchange partner scholarships. These can change by recruitment cycle — check the International pages and your country advice page. 4) Postgraduate incentives and studentships Postgraduate taught funding: UWS publishes postgraduate funding pages listing scholarship schemes and incentives for international students (these can include tuition discounts, regional offers and application-based awards). Research studentships / PhD funding: Funded PhD studentships (school-based, UKRI-linked, industry/NHS co-funded) are advertised periodically; these may include fee coverage (sometimes to the UK rate) plus a stipend — international students can apply where the advert permits. Check the research and money/fees pages for current studentship adverts. 5) Bursaries / programme-specific awards Some programmes (for example healthcare/nursing) may have specific bursaries or targeted awards (e.g., Men into Nursing bursary for eligible nursing/midwifery students). Always check your course page for course-level bursaries.   How scholarships are awarded & applied (practical steps) Choose your programme and campus (select Lanarkshire if you intend to study at UWS Hamilton). Confirm the programme is listed as eligible for any headline scholarship (e.g., Enhanced International Scholarship). Submit your application (UCAS for most undergraduates; UWS direct for many postgraduates). Many international scholarships are assessed automatically on receipt of a complete application; others require a separate scholarship application process — read the scholarship page carefully. Receive your offer — scholarship/discount details are usually confirmed in your offer letter or student portal if you are successful. If not listed, contact the Scholarships team to confirm. Accept your offer & follow deposit instructions — some scholarships are limited and places are allocated on a first-come basis; pay any required deposit and return required documentation promptly. Enrol / fee invoice — approved scholarship awards are normally applied to your tuition fee invoice when you enrol; check your invoice to confirm the scholarship has been deducted.   Documents you’ll typically need (prepare these early) Passport / proof of nationality. Academic transcripts and certificates (with translations if not in English). English language evidence (IELTS/approved equivalent) where required. Personal statement / CV (for competitive awards or studentships). Evidence of prior academic grades (for merit scholarships). For research studentships: research proposal, references, and supervisor contact details. Proof of deposit / payment (if required to secure scholarship place).   Deadlines & timing — what to watch Enhanced International Scholarships (and many international offers) are limited for 2025/26 — apply early as offers are allocated on a limited-places basis. Studentship deadlines vary by project — monitor the UWS research pages and departmental adverts for rolling or fixed deadlines. Country-specific campaigns are usually announced seasonally — keep an eye on the UWS International page and your country page.   Realistic expectations & tips (student-friendly) Enhanced scholarships are significant (net fee down to £10,950 for eligible courses) — but they’re limited and apply only to selected programmes. Always check that your course is included before relying on the discount. Merit/global scholarships are helpful but modest (e.g., c.£1,500 historically) — excellent as a top-up but not usually full funding. Funded PhD studentships are the best route to full support (fees + stipend) but are competitive — contact potential supervisors early. Course pages matter — some programme pages list bespoke bursaries (e.g., nursing). Read your exact course page for additional awards. External funding (home-country scholarships, loan programmes, international foundations) remain important complements to UWS awards — check the UWS external scholarships page for ideas.

International Postgraduate Student Scholarship — £5,000 Applies to new international students joining a taught postgraduate programme in 2025/26.

Sanctuary Award (for students seeking asylum / refugee students) Winchester’s Sanctuary Award can waive tuition fees and provide a bursary (up to £5,000 a year) for up to two students per year. This award is separate from the international scholarships and is targeted at people seeking sanctuary in the UK. Undergraduate & Postgraduate bursaries, awards and Widening Participation support Winchester lists a range of course-level awards, progression awards, and widening-participation bursaries (care leaver, estranged, young adult carer, etc.) — check the Undergraduate and Postgraduate scholarship pages for full lists. Research studentships Research (PhD) studentships are published when available; these are typically advertised on the research studentships page and vary by faculty (fully funded or fees-only).   Who is eligible — the essentials Fee status: You must be assessed by Winchester as an international (overseas) fee-paying student to be eligible for the International Undergraduate or Postgraduate Scholarships. Course type: Scholarships listed above apply to taught programmes (UG/PG taught). Research degrees and some foundation/route programmes may have different funding arrangements — check each scholarship’s T&Cs. Automatic awards: The £4,000 (UG) and £5,000 (PG) international scholarships are automatic — Winchester applies them to eligible offers (you should see them in your offer letter/fee invoice). Sanctuary Award: Separate eligibility and selection process — targeted to those seeking sanctuary/refugee status and has its own application/selection process.   How scholarships are applied / combined (important mechanics) Automatic application to offer: Winchester states that the International Undergraduate and Postgraduate Scholarships will be applied automatically to qualifying offers for the specified intake (2025/26). Check your offer letter — it should show the reduced payable fee. Fee invoices / CAS: Scholarships generally reduce your tuition fee invoice. Note Winchester requires an international tuition deposit before issuing a CAS — confirm how the scholarship is reflected on your invoice before payment. One award at a time / rules: Many universities restrict combining internal discounts — Winchester’s general Scholarships page lists multiple awards and T&Cs (read the relevant scholarship page for combination/exclusions). If you are offered more than one Winchester award, the University’s policy determines which is applied.   Deadlines & timing to watch Intake-specific: The automatic international scholarships are advertised for the 2025/26 intake — check the scholarship page for the exact intake (Sept 2025 / Jan 2026) you are applying to. Deposit & CAS: You must pay the deposit before the CAS is issued — missing deposit deadlines can cause visa delays. Winchester’s international fees page has full payment & deposit instructions. Sanctuary Award and some bursaries have separate application windows — check the individual award pages for closing dates.   Practical tips & checklist (do this before you accept an offer) Confirm your fee status (international/overseas) with Admissions — scholarship eligibility depends on it. Ensure the scholarship appears on your offer before paying balances. If it does not, contact Admissions/Fees immediately. Keep scanned copies of transcripts, passport, English test and any documentation the University might request. Budget for living costs and visa-related fees — scholarships typically reduce tuition only. If you’re seeking sanctuary or refugee support — explore the Sanctuary Award; Winchester can waive tuition + provide bursary support for eligible applicants.
