Nottingham Trent University

Our International Scholarships are worth up to £3,000 and are awarded competitively to students who show a strong commitment to their studies.

To be eligible for an NTU International Scholarship award, you must:

• Have an offer of a place on an eligible course at Nottingham Trent University, including Confetti courses.

• Be classed as an overseas student for tuition fee purposes (‘international student’). 

• Be due to enrol on the first year of a new course of study (or year 2 or 3 of an undergraduate course in the case of advanced entry) in September 2024 or January 2025. International students enrolled before January 2025 and due to progress onto the second, third or fourth year of their course of study in January 2025 or September 2025, or repeating the first year of study, are not eligible to apply.

Terms and Conditions for International Scholarships

• Nottingham Trent International College (NTIC) progression students are not eligible to apply for an NTU International Scholarship award.

• International students who receive sponsorship (your tuition fees are being paid by an employer, government, or funding body in full or in part) are not eligible to apply for an International Scholarship.

• If you are studying at an institution that has a partnership agreement with NTU you are eligible for either an NTU International Scholarship award (if your scholarship application is successful) or the Partner Progression Discount (the higher amount would be deducted from your tuition fees).

• If you are awarded a Scholarship by an external body, you can only be awarded an NTU International Scholarship award if the total combined amount of both awards is not higher than 50% of your first year’s tuition fees. Please check the Terms and Conditions of the external award to make sure any award from NTU would not impact your external award.

• Applicants may only apply for an NTU International Scholarship award once per academic year per offer of a place on a qualifying course.

• Applications received after 16:00 GMT (4 pm) on each deadline will automatically be considered for the next available deadline. For example, application forms submitted after the first deadline and before the second deadline, will be considered for the second deadline.

• Applications received after the final deadline will not be considered.

• If you are awarded any other scholarship, bursary and / or tuition fee reduction from NTU you will only be eligible for the higher award (except for candidates who are awarded a Sport Scholarship or if you are eligible for the Alumni discount and the combined awards are not higher than 50% of your first year’s tuition fees).

• If you receive an award for each year of study, the award will be deducted from your tuition fee at the start of each year. You must successfully complete each year of the course to continue to receive this. Scholarships are not applied when a placement year is undertaken but will resume for your final year of study.

• NTU Scholarship awards are not transferable and will not be awarded if you choose to transfer to a different course of study at NTU or if you defer your entry to the following academic year.

• Applicants will be informed whether they have (or have not) been awarded an NTU International Scholarship award (and of the value of the scholarship award if they have been awarded) within five weeks of the application deadline.

• The scholarship will be applied to your tuition fee when you accept your scholarship offer, accept and meet the conditions of your course offer and you are eligible to enrol on your course.

• Scholarships are competitive and selection is based on the information provided on the scholarship application form. It is particularly important that you give your scholarship statement careful thought and preparation, and that you refer to the criteria provided.

• If applying for the High Achievers Award, you must be able to provide a graded transcript in order to evidence that you meet the criteria of the High Achievers award.

• If you fail to complete your course and choose to retake the course or undertake another eligible course, any scholarship you were originally awarded will not be applicable.

• If you fail to complete your course and the scholarship was not applied (i.e., you did not pay the tuition fees, or the tuition fees were reimbursed) and you choose to retake the course or undertake another eligible course you may re-apply for a scholarship provided you still meet the eligibility criteria. Consideration of any new scholarship application will be in accordance with the stated criteria and there is no guarantee that the application will be successful.

• If you withdraw from your course while owing a proportion of your tuition fees to NTU, application of the scholarship shall be at the discretion of NTU, and the scholarship may be withdrawn.
