University of Essex scholarship

University of Essex offers a scholarship worth £2,000 if the grades in first degree are equivalent to a UK first class degree. This new scholarship scheme is for students seeking to join the university in October 2013. Awards will be made on the basis of grades obtained in the first degree, so all applications for relevant courses will automatically be considered. The scholarship is awarded as a partial tuition fee waiver and is available for students on postgraduate taught courses (excluding MBA). All the relevant course applications, received by the given deadline, will automatically be considered for this scholarship and a fee discount applied to all who meet our grade requirements.

Eligibility : These scholarships are restricted to applicants who are overseas fee payers and are entirely self-funded. They are not available to students who are fully or partly sponsored. Students must have been awarded a first degree with a grade equivalent to a UK first class honours bachelor's degree. Only one scholarship award can be made per student and the award cannot normally be held in conjunction with other University of Essex scholarships. These terms and conditions apply to the academic year 2013-14. The university reserves the right to update these terms and conditions as necessary.

How to apply: Applicants who have firmly accepted an offer of a place by September 30, 2013, and met the academic conditions of entry, will be considered for these scholarships. Applications submitted after that date may be considered depending on availability of funds. Successful applicants will be informed, in writing, by the end of October 2013 of any award to be offered.
