How we award scholarships

This is a competitive process and not all applications will be successful.    

There are 3 stages to the shortlisting process. 

  1. We check that you meet the eligibility criteria. 
  2. We score your academic record and qualifications as stated on your UCAS or PGT application form. 
  3. The panel will decide who gets the scholarships.  The panel will consider your supporting statement, alongside your academic achievements to date. 
  4. We may also shortlist applicants from Least Developed Countries, Low Income or Lower Middle-Income countries. 
     

The decision of the scholarship panel is final. We do not offer feedback on our process.
