This is an opportunity to go beyond your personal statement, mention UEA specifically and tell us why UEA is the right university for you.

We would encourage you to submit your scholarship application as soon as you feel it is ready. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, meaning that the sooner you apply, the sooner you will find out whether you have been successful.

Applicants holding another UEA scholarship or award should note that scholarships are exclusive.  In a situation where a candidate is offered multiple awards,  the greater amount will be offered.

This scholarship can be used in conjunction with an Early Payment Award. 

The deadline for application is 2 June 2025.
