Vice Chancellor's Global Impact and Leadership Scholarship (September Start)

Applications to our 2026 Vice Chancellor's Global Impact and Leadership Scholarship are to be submitted in written format. We would like you to answer the following three questions.

• Why did you select UEA and apply for your chosen course?
• How will your chosen course equip you to achieve your future career and leadership ambitions?
• How will the knowledge and skills you will gain from your course equip you to become a global leader?

Each answer should be limited to 200 words.

When applying for this scholarship, you must already be in possession of a conditional or unconditional offer for an eligible postgraduate taught course starting at UEA in September 2026. You should have achieved or be expecting to achieve at least a 2:1, or equivalent, in your undergraduate degree to be eligible. Your offer letter should state that you are an Overseas fee-paying  student.

The Vice Chancellor's Global Impact and Leadership Scholarship is an application based scholarship open to Overseas fee status applicants who have been offered a place to study on a postgraduate taught course with UEA. It is designed to reward those who can clearly and concisely explain how studying here at UEA will help them to make an outstanding contribution to their chosen field of study and become a global leader.

Our panels will sit in March and June to review scholarship applications. Applications of a high quality will be offered £10,000 as a tuition fee discount. Successful applicants will be informed shortly after each panel. Where your programme of study is two years in length, the scholarship will be offered for the first year only.
