How we award scholarships

There are 3 stages to the shortlisting process. 

1. we check that you meet the eligibility criteria
2. we score your academic record and qualifications as stated on your programme/UCAS application form
3. a panel will decide who gets the scholarships, considering your supporting statement, alongside your academic achievements to date
4. we may also shortlist applicants from least developed countries, low income or lower middle-income countries
    

This is a competitive process, and not all applications will be successful.  The decision of the scholarship panel is final. We do not offer feedback on our process.
