Further Information
This scholarship cannot be used in conjunction with any other scholarships offered by the University of Suffolk.
In order to be considered for an EU Scholarship you must complete the online application (see ‘How to Apply’ below) by the deadline and ensure that you meet all of the EU Scholarship criteria.
Successful applicants will receive a scholarship of up to £4,590 (pro-rata for part time students) each year for the duration of your course. Scholarship amounts will vary depending on the course you are studying on, but the intention is to bring your tuition fee in line with the fee paid by UK students.
Scholarships will not be paid to you directly. They will be offset against your tuition fees prior to invoicing each year. If you apply for a scholarship and are successful after invoicing has already occurred, your fee will be amended retrospectively, and a statement will be issued with your outstanding balance. In the unlikely event that we do need to pay the scholarship to you directly, please note you will be required to provide UK bank account details.
The deadline for application is 31 July 2022. |
