This scholarship cannot be held in addition to any other UEA scholarship except for the International Early Payment Award. If you are eligible for another UEA scholarship of higher value, this will automatically replace this scholarship. Students receiving sponsorship covering full fees by an outside body or government organisation are not eligible for this scholarship. Government or educational loans that require repayment do not affect eligibility.

BENEFIT:

Applications of a high quality will be offered £10,000 as a tuition fee discount. Successful applicants will be informed shortly after each panel. Where your programme of study is two years in length, the scholarship will be offered for the first year only.
