What Students Are Saying
While direct student feedback on the Dean’s Excellence Scholarship is limited, some Reddit
posts mention how competitive and life-changing such scholarships can be:
“Leeds does have this, which is a 50% fee waiver for your three years of study. Only 50 awards
are given out, though.”Reddit
“I have received 50% tuition fee scholarship for University of Leeds.”Reddit
These reflect that the scholarship is highly valued—and likely limited in number—so presenting
a strong academic record and a compelling personal statement is key.
