Scholarships at Universidad de Essex 

If you're an international student from Bahrain and you're funding your own studies, you could be eligible for a scholarship worth £3,000 which you'll receive as a tuition fee discount in your first year.

Eligibility

You must meet all of the following conditions:

• These scholarships are restricted to applicants who are classified as international students for fees purposes and are ordinarily resident in Bahrain.
• Applicants must be entirely self-funded.
• Applicants must be starting their first year of study on a degree course at the University of Essex in 2021-22.
• Applicants must actively make Essex their firm choice by 19 July 2021. Applicants that become firm with Essex through rejection by their original firm choice selection elsewhere are not eligible.
• Only one scholarship award can be made per student and the award cannot normally be held in conjunction with other University of Essex awards.
• This scholarship is available for the first year of study only.

Students who aren't eligible

You are not eligible for the award, even if you meet the criteria above, if you fall into any of the following categories:

• Students undertaking courses at East 15 Acting School.
• Students who are fully or partly sponsored.
• These scholarship awards do not apply to deferred entry. Where a scholarship has been awarded to a student who subsequently defers entry to the following academic year, the award will be withdrawn and the applicant will be considered again in line with the terms and conditions that apply in the new proposed year of entry.
• Students transferring into the second year from another UK higher education institution.
