They determine residency as where you have been living for a 3-year period or longer before the start of the course.

This does not include where you are living for study purposes if it is somewhere different from your place of permanent residency.

If you are already in receipt of a scholarship award from them or you become eligible for another scholarship award from them, they will apply 50% of the value of the Excellence Scholarship award. This will be applied on top of any other Southampton award you receive as long as the combined value of both awards does not equal more than 100% of your tuition fees.

You do not need to apply for this scholarship. If you meet the eligibility criteria, we will award you this scholarship and let you know by email.

£4,000 off tuition fees
