The Oblath International Enrichment Scholarship

For students who will travel as part of their studies and are on track for a 2:1 in their degree

The Oblath International Enrichment Scholarship aims to help lower-income students fund their studies abroad as part of their undergraduate degree.

If you are chosen for this award, you will receive a lump sum award before you leave for your time studying abroad. If you are chosen for the award, you won't have to pay it back after you graduate, unless you don't travel.

Applications for the 2024/25 scholarship will fund your travels in the following academic year (2025/26) and will open in December 2024.

If you have any questions about this award or your eligibility, please contact us.
