The University of East Anglia (UEA) offers the International UG Merit Scholarship to high-achieving international students joining eligible undergraduate Bachelor's degree programs. This scholarship is automatically awarded to students paying overseas tuition fees and is applied annually for the duration of their study, excluding any placement years, years abroad, or periods where full overseas tuition fees are not paid. The award amounts vary from £4,000 to £10,000 per year, depending on the year of entry, your country of domicile, and your chosen program of study. This scholarship aims to make higher education more accessible for international students at UEA. It is a tuition fee reduction, automatically applied upon meeting the eligibility criteria, meaning you do not need to submit a separate application. Specific programs, particularly in Engineering, Physics, and Environmental Sciences, offer higher award values. Please note that certain courses and circumstances (like full external sponsorship) are not eligible.
