When will I be able to apply for a scholarship?
In order to apply for a scholarship you must have a c
onfirmed offer of a place to study here for September 2011 entry. You can apply for scholarships using our online scholarship application form and applications may be submitted up until the closing date for each scholarship – applications close at 12 midnight (UK time) on the dates shown (please see individual scholarship information for closing dates).
Can I apply for more than one scholarship?
You may apply for more than one scholarship if you meet the eligibility criteria for each scholarship. For example if you are from a certain country you can apply for one of our country-specific scholarships, or any scholarships related to the subject you plan to study, or the level you wish to study at (Undergraduate, Masters, PhD, etc).
Can I apply for admission to the university
and a scholarship at the same time?
No, to apply for our International Office competitive scholarships you must already have an offer of a place to study here for September 2011 entry.
Separate information can be found on our website about applying to study.
Can I apply for a scholarship if I hold a conditional offer?
Yes, you can apply for our International Office competitive scholarships if you are holding a conditional or an unconditional offer.
We also have non-competitive scholarships (e.g. Alumni Scholarship, Family Scholarship) and to be eligible to apply for our non-competitive scholarships before you come to Nottingham, you must have firmly accepted an unconditional offer – this would be to include the scholarship in your electronic CAS Certificate if you needed it for visa purposes.
If you are eligible for any of our non-competitive scholarships and you don’t apply for them before you come to Nottingham, you can still apply after you arrive, within three months of registering on your course.
What information do I need to apply for a scholarship online?
Your postgraduate application number, which is giv
en to you by the Admissions Office when your offer is confirmed (or your UCAS personal number for undergraduate students) and your date of birth.
You can preview the online application questions on our scholarship application page and we suggest you type out your answers first, keep them for a few days to make absolutely sure you a
re happy with them, and then copy them into the application form when you are ready.
