If you are sponsored by a University recognised sponsor, such as an embassy, government or employer, we are here to provide you and your sponsor with information, advice and support both before and during your studies at the University of Nottingham.
The University does not recognise individuals and members of your family as a sponsor. The University reserves the right not to invoice sponsors who have poor payment history or outstanding fees. In such cases, you may be invoiced personally for fees.
If your sponsor will not be paying the University directly and instead gives you the money, then it is your responsibility to pay for your tuition fees. In this case, you will be defined as a self-funded student.
Providing evidence of sponsorship
All new and returning sponsored students (where sponsorship is confirmed on an annual basis) must provide confirmation of funding. Your sponsor may confirm their funding in a signed and dated letter on official headed paper or an official purchase order form;

Sponsorship documentation will only be accepted from recognised sponsors, as determined by the University.
