LANCASTER UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE EXCELLENCE SCHOLARSHIP – INTERNATIONAL

LOCATION: United Kingdom

The Undergraduate Excellence Scholarship—International is awarded to high-achieving undergraduate students who make Lancaster their firm choice. It recognizes both the fantastic results you have achieved to progress to undergraduate study and your commitment to joining our community by placing us as your firm choice.

ELIGIBILITY:

You will be offered one of these scholarships if you:

Achieve A*AA and above at A level (or the equivalent in an alternative qualification)

Make Lancaster University your firm UCAS choice

Are an international fee-paying applicant

There is no separate application process for the Undergraduate Excellence Scholarship. Eligible students will be identified automatically through their university application.

If you meet the eligibility criteria for the Undergraduate Regional Scholarship, you can combine it with this Undergraduate Excellence Scholarship—International.

The Undergraduate Excellence Scholarship—International can also be combined with named departmental scholarships, wherever awarded.

If an applicant is eligible for both the Undergraduate Excellence Scholarship—International and a scholarship and/or tuition fee discount from any of our international teaching partnerships, only the award of the highest value will be made.

The scholarship is available across all our full-time undergraduate degree programmes offered fully on campus at Lancaster University’s Bailrigg campus.

Awardees must be classed as Overseas or International fee-paying students for tuition fee purposes for the duration of their studies. If you are awarded the scholarship and are subsequently reassessed as a ‘Home’ fee-payer, you will no longer be eligible for the scholarship.

All grade conditions must be met or exceeded. Tariff point equivalences are not considered.

BENEFIT:

The award will be worth £3,000 and will be awarded as a tuition fee reduction each year of study for undergraduate programmes.
