Bright Futures Postgraduate Scholarship

Overview

We know funding your Master’s can be a concern.

At UEA, we want to help support you to reach your potential, whilst enjoying the unique and important contribution to university life that only you can make.

So our new Bright Futures Postgraduate Scholarships offer a £2000 reduction in fees for UK-based students, to help you get on with taking your next step.

Guidance

We are looking for a carefully  constructed, original re​sponse that can demonstrate how you believe studying your chosen course at UEA will help you to make a difference in the future  of your chosen field of study. We are also interested to hear how you will contribute to our campus environment during your time here at UEA. Your answers should reflect that you have a good understanding of your area of study and what it means to be part of the UEA student body.

There are 50 scholarships available of £2000 that will be awarded as a fee reduction. Candidates will need to apply for the scholarship and successful applicants will be decided by a panel. The panel will be assessing applications on academic merit, interest in the subject area, how applicants could contribute to the UEA community and how a postgraduate qualification would enable applicants to make a difference in the future. 

Eligibility Criteria

You are eligible to apply for a £2000 PGT Bright Futures Scholarship under these Terms if you meet all of the following criteria:  

• You are liable for Home fee status. Those liable for Overseas fees are not eligible for this scholarship.  

• You are and will remain self-funded for the duration of an Eligible Programme. This means you are paying all of your tuition fees yourself, which may include personal savings, a loan (e.g. a government loan) or financial support from a friend or relative.

• You meet the deadline for applying to the award. This is outlined on the Bright Futures Scholarship page.

• You submit your course application by the scholarship deadline.

Eligible Programmes

Except for the courses set out below, Scholarships may be offered in respect of all credit-bearing postgraduate taught programmes studied at UEA.

We will not offer this Discount if you will be studying for the MBA qualification, MSc Global Plant Health, MSc Plant Genetics and Crop Improvement, or any of our foundation, pre-Masters, integrated Master’s, postgraduate certificate, graduate diploma or postgraduate diploma programmes.

If you meet the Eligibility Criteria and would like to be considered for a Scholarship, you must complete the scholarship application form by the deadline given.

If you do not provide us with the required information for application of the Scholarship when prompted, or if you provide us with incomplete or incorrect information, we will not be able to process your Scholarship application further.

If we are of the reasonable view that you do not meet our Eligibility Criteria and you wish to appeal we will ask you to provide us with such proof as we deem necessary to make a new assessment. You must supply us with the requested evidence as soon as reasonably possible.

We reserve the right to adjust scholarship eligibility criteria up until the application deadline, provided the change(s) do not make applications already submitted ineligible or disadvantage them in any way.
