International Excellence Award (Undergraduate)

The scholarship is awarded as a £5,000 fee waiver. It is open to self-funded international fee-paying students regardless of nationality or domicile. The scheme is application based and awards are decided by a scholarship awards panel. The panel will assess previous academic performance, predicted grades and the personal statement to make their decision.

The scheme is application based, and awards are decided by a scholarship awards panel. Surrey must be your firm choice on a UCAS application to be considered for the award.

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

To be eligible applicants must:

• Be an overseas fee-paying student
• Choose Surrey as your firm choice on your UCAS application (the grades eligibility for applicants joining Surrey via Clearing is ABB (or equivalent))
• Hold an offer to study a full-time bachelors degree programme* at FHEQ Level 4 (first-year entry)
• Be self-funded (you must be paying for your studies independently rather than being sponsored or in receipt of another scholarship)
• Apply for this scholarship before a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) is issued. The award cannot be applied post CAS.

*Excludes part-time and distance-learning courses.

This award is available for the first year of an undergraduate degree only.

This award is not open to students from Surrey International Study Centre (SISC).

Applicants in receipt of the International Excellence scholarship will not be eligible for any other Surrey scholarship.

The award is not deferrable to the following year (if applicants are deferring, they will need to reapply for the award. This will also be subject to the award availability).
