The Vice-Chancellor has established a £150,000 scholarship fund to support international students who are funding their own studies at the University of Essex. This scholarship scheme is specifically for non-EU students seeking to join our University. Awards will be made on the basis of academic merit and applications for relevant courses from students who meet the eligibility criteria will automatically be considered for a scholarship award. The scholarship is off-set against your tuition fees.
Study Subject:
Scholarships are provided to learn any of the courses offered by the University of Essex in UK.
Eligibility:
- These scholarships are restricted to applicants who are entirely self-funded and are classified as international students for fee purposes. They are not available to students who are fully or partly sponsored.
- These scholarships may be awarded to students who have completed the relevant school or university studies in the specified countries (if applicable) and whose declared country of residence is that country.
- These scholarships may be restricted to applicants from specified schools.
- Only one scholarship award can be made per student and the award cannot normally be held in conjunction with other University of Essex scholarships.
- These scholarship awards do not apply for deferred entry.
