Scholarship Details

The Salford International Excellence Scholarship is judged by our international scholarship committee. Ten successful applicants will be awarded £5,000. You must have applied for an undergraduate course and received an offer for September 2023 intake in order to apply for this scholarship.

You are from a region where no specific scholarships are available.

You have an offer to study an undergraduate (bachelor's) programme and have gained advanced entry, so will begin your studies in year two or three, rather than year one. 

Your talents complement our Industry Collaboration Zone strategy, which brings us together with industry to work on global challenges.

You have professional experience gained through work, extra-curricular activities, or your own creative or entrepreneurial projects.
