How to apply
You must apply for an undergraduate degree course at the University of Nottingham and receive an offer of study before you can apply for this scholarship.
Search for courses and find out how to apply through UCAS.
Once you have received your offer, you can apply for this scholarship through the scholarships section of the NottinghamHub.
In your application, you will be asked about your achievements, study plans, reasons for choosing to study with us, and details of predicted grades (if applicable). Make sure you have enough time to prepare strong answers. We will assess your responses and academic merit when making scholarship decisions.
Please note that there is a strict word count limit for all questions, which is outlined at the end of each question. The system does not automatically limit this, so you would be encouraged to check your application before you submit. Any responses submitted that exceed the outlined word count may not be reviewed.
If you are studying in the UK, you should apply for the UK International Undergraduate Excellence Award.
Scholarship criteria
You do not need to respond to your offer in UCAS before submitting your application for this scholarship.
Scholarships will be awarded after assessing all scholarship applications. We will contact you at the end of April 2025 to confirm the outcome of your application.
To maximise the reach of University's Scholarships offering, our international scholarships cannot be combined with other competitive University scholarships. Where you are awarded multiple scholarships, the single highest-value award will be applied.
International scholarships are available to self-funded students only. If you are sponsored by an external funding body, e.g. government, business, employer, trust or charity, you are not eligible to apply.
If you are awarded this scholarship, it will be deducted from the tuition fees charged to you as a student at the University of Nottingham. We will not pay tuition fee scholarships to you directly.
