Partially funded

Vice-Chancellor's Undergraduate Excellence Award

Brunel University of London, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

The Vice-Chancellor's Undergraduate Excellence Award offers 25 tuition fee waivers worth 25% of the undergraduate fee each year to self-funded international students starting a full-time undergraduate course at Brunel in September 2026.

It rewards students with excellent academic records and a commitment to positive change in their communities. Unlike Brunel's automatic awards, it requires a scholarship application, and a panel reviews applicants holistically.

Award holders may be asked to act as Brunel ambassadors at campus tours, Open Days and marketing activities.

How selection works

The Scholarship Allocation Panel shortlists applicants on the application and supporting evidence, reviewing each holistically for potential, personal achievements and fit with Brunel's values. Applicants not holding an Unconditional Firm offer by 30 August will have the award withdrawn. The decision is final.
