Through the scholarship, the University will provide financial support to eligible students towards their tuition fees for several of its master’s programmes. The University will assess applicants on their academic achievements, potential to contribute to the university community, and future aspirations in their chosen field of study.

Furthermore, the applicant should meet all conditions of the academic offer and have accepted the offer on the application portal. The master’s programme he/she opts for should begin in September 2024.

Also, applicants must have paid a tuition fee deposit of £3,000, if applicable, by the date specified in the offer letter.

The student must be registered as a University of Leeds student at the start of February 2025.

The release further added that the scholarship can be awarded in conjunction with any available Department/Faculty scholarships or external funding as long as this does not exceed 100% of the tuition fees.

The University stated that applicants cannot defer the scholarship award to a future year as doing so will cause them to lose the opportunity.
