Scholarships for Overseas Students

Introduction
Each year, the University awards a number of scholarships to overseas students (graduates and undergraduates) of high academic calibre.
The scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis and the selection takes into account academic ability and financial need.
The annual value of the scholarships is one-third or one-sixth of the appropriate tuition fee and scholarships are tenable for the duration of the award holder's course, subject to satisfactory progress.
Because the scholarships cover only part of the fees, award holders are expected to show that they can meet the balance of the tuition fee and their living expenses from other sources.
The closing date for the receipt of applications is 1 May of the year in which admission is sought, but candidates should apply as early as possible.
Late applications cannot normally be considered.
Please note that these scholarships do not cover programmes of study at HYMS.
Applications should be made on a special form which is available from The International Office.
