We offer Opportunity Scholarships to eligible UK/EU domiciled students on the basis of household income. One of the biggest barriers to studying for a degree is financial. The Opportunity Scholarship is our commitment to ensuring that ability, not circumstance, is what matters enabling highly motivated, enthusiastic students from all backgrounds to fully enjoy a Newcastle University education. These means-tested scholarships help talented students to focus more on their studies, giving them the financial security to apply for summer internships or take up extra-curricular activities that may have been out of reach.
If you're studying on a course that includes a compulsory year abroad or placement year, you will receive a fee discount. You will not be entitled to an Opportunity Scholarship for that year.
The Office for Students states that students already holding the equivalent of an honours degree or higher level qualification cannot be considered for bursaries or scholarships through our Access Agreement.
Due to Government guidelines, NHS funded students receiving tuition fee grants cannot be considered for bursaries or scholarships through our Access Agreement in the academic year they receive NHS funding.
