Country Specific Scholarships Regulations 2016-17
The University offers a number of partial scholarship awards to encourage well-qualified graduates to undertake
undergraduate or postgraduate study at Newcastle University.
1. To be considered for an award, applicants should have applied to study as an undergraduate or
postgraduate degree student at the University.
2. Applicants must be assessed as international (overseas) for fees purposes. UK students and EU students
assessed as ‘home’ for fees purposes are not eligible to apply.
3. To be eligible candidates must register at Newcastle University in the 2016-17 academic year for an
undergraduate or a postgraduate degree course which they have not already begun at the time of the award.
4. Students applying for part-time study are eligible to apply for these scholarships and, if successful, will
receive the scholarship at the appropriate pro-rata rate.
5. This award cannot be held concurrently with a fully-funded or partially-funded scholarship. Applicants must
state on their application whether they have applied for or have been awarded any fully-funded or partiallyfunded scholarship/sponsorship and immediately inform the University of any such award. Any student in
breach of this regulation will have further scholarship payments suspended and the University may seek to
recover any or all previous payments.
6. The University awards scholarships on the basis of academic merit and other information on the Scholarship
application form.
7. The value of the scholarships shown below will be credited to the student’s tuition fee account to reduce the
overall cost of tuition fees.

by the University. If a student is offered more than one central university award, the one most appropriate to
the student’s circumstances will then be selected.
9. The University reserves the right to vary all or any scholarship and discount awards and regulations at its
sole discretion.
