Scholarship requirements

You do not need to respond to your offer before submitting your application for this scholarship, however, awards will only be made to students who accept their offer to study with us.

We will assess all scholarship applications before making any awards. You may be offered a scholarship of either 50% or 100% of tuition fees. We will contact you in early July 2023 to confirm the outcome of your application.

If you are awarded this scholarship, it will be deducted from the tuition fees charged to you as a student at the University of Nottingham. We will not pay tuition fee scholarships to you directly.

In some cases, students are eligible to apply for more than one University of Nottingham award. Please note in no scenario would a Developing Solutions Award be combined with a Regional Scholarship, and in the unlikely event you were to be offered both, the highest value award would take precedence.

Very occasionally students may be offered Developing Solutions alongside a scholarship from their Academic School or a Sporting award. To maximise the reach of the University's Scholarships offering, we aim not to double award, but in exceptional cases, this may be possible where the combined total does not exceed 100% of tuition fees.
