Are there eligibility conditions?
In order to be eligible for consideration for a Merit-based year of Entry Scholarship you will need to be:
- studying on an eligible course (use the list of relevant courses below to see if your course is eligible).
- a permanent resident of the United Kingdom. (This excludes the Isle of Man and Channel Islands residents).
- liable for the tuition fee of £3070
- undertaking an undergraduate degree course at Loughborough University as a new full-time student, starting in autumn 2007
Most importantly, in order to qualify for a scholarship, you will need to have made Loughborough your first (firm) choice university at the appropriate time within the UCAS application process, be entering the first year of the programme and you must also satisfy the required academic threshold (which varies depending on the specific scholarship). One department will also take into account your performance at the end of the first semester.
Please note that non-UK EU and international students are not eligible for Loughborough University scholarships.
How do I apply for a scholarship?
Scholarships will be automatically offered to those students who meet all of the eligibility requirements, including meeting (or exceeding) the minimum grade requirements
How will the scholarship be paid?
The scholarship will normally be paid by instalments straight into your bank account.
