Vice Chancellor's Future Leaders Award

This scholarship is awarded as a £7,500 fee waiver. It is open to self-funded international fee-paying students domiciled in specific countries.

The scheme is application based and awards are decided by a scholarship awards panel. The panel will assess previous academic performance, predicted grades (if applicable) and the personal statement to make their decision.

These awards must be allocated before a CAS is issued. We are not able to consider applications if your CAS has already been issued. Please apply early.

To be eligible applicants must:

• Hold an offer to study a full-time degree programme* at Surrey. This should be either a Bachelor degree at FHEQ Level 4 (first-year entry) or a full-time masters degree
• Be self-funded (you must be paying for your studies independently rather than being sponsored or in receipt of another scholarship)
• If you are an undergraduate applicant, Surrey must be your firm choice on your UCAS application to be considered for the award
• The award is not deferrable (if applicants are deferring, they will need to reapply for the award. This will also be subject to the award availability)
• Apply for a scholarship before a Confirmation of Acceptance Studies (CAS) is issued. The award cannot be applied post CAS.
