Leicester Open Undergraduate Scholarships for International Students

UK. 15 scholarships are available for New undergraduate students on all courses except Medicine within the University of Leicester. The scholarships will be awarded based on academic merit. The scholarships tenure would be each year of full-time study and the value would be £3,000 for courses with fees over £10,000; £2,000 for other courses.

Candidates for Open Scholarships must be classified by the University as international students for fees purposes. Except in the case of Open PhD Scholarships, all Open Scholarships are awarded only in the form of a reduction in tuition fees payable.

For Open PhD Scholarships, candidates must not be in receipt of a full scholarship (tuition fees and living costs) from any other sources. Students with partial scholarships from other sources will be considered. For Open Master’s and Undergraduate Scholarships, students must be self-funded.

Where an Open Scholarship is awarded to a candidate who is also eligible for a fee discount, the discount will be calculated after the Scholarships reduction to the tuition fees payable has been made. Some scholarship funding may also be available to outstanding PhD students who begin their studies at other points in the academic year.

The award is available for course starting in September / October 2008 . To apply please complete the application form. Application deadline: 30 April 2008.
