Apply for an NCUK Scholarship

NCUK is delighted to offer six scholarships for students who are studying with us in the 2023/24 academic year. To be considered for an NCUK Scholarship, you must meet the application criteria so please carefully review the NCUK Scholarship terms and conditions before making your application.

There are three categories that students can apply for with different criteria necessary for students to address in order to submit their application:

  • NCUK Values Award – Students who are interested in applying for the NCUK Values Award will need to evidence skills that they have developed during their NCUK qualification (such as teamwork, independent critical thinking, selflessness, communication etc), as well as any extra-curricular activities, and how they are going to apply these skills when transferring to university.
  • NCUK Future Leaders Award – Students who are interested in applying for the NCUK Future Leaders Award will need to evidence their leadership skills and/or how they plan to utilise their degree for positive change in the future.
  • NCUK Inspire Award – Students who are interested in applying for the NCUK Inspire Award will need to evidence what studying abroad means to them and how studying with NCUK has helped them in their study abroad journey.

Six NCUK Scholarships will be available (two winners per category) with each winner being awarded £1,000.

Application Guidance

Judges typically seek students with a unique perspective, passion, and dedication. They want applications that inform them of personal achievements, academic excellence, and a clear understanding of how the scholarship will assist in fulfilling their specific goals. The application should be well-written, and organised, and show evidence of your commitment to success beyond your current academic progress.
