International Undergraduate Scholarship

Anglia Ruskin University, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

The International Undergraduate Scholarship is Anglia Ruskin University's main award for international students starting a bachelor's degree. It is a tuition fee discount, deducted from fees in each year of the course.

There are two levels: a Lower Award worth up to £5,000 and a Higher Award worth up to £7,000 over the degree. The level depends on the overall standard of the application. There is no separate application; eligible students receive it automatically.

The scholarship cannot be combined with other ARU scholarships, but students can also receive the £1,000 Full Payment Discount in Year 1 by paying fees in full before teaching starts.
