NTU International Scholarships 2026 in UK

Once you have an academic offer for a course at Nottingham Trent, you can apply through our simple application form on our website. Our scholarships are competitive so it is important to make yourself stand out from the crowd. Your application must be written and completed by you. We cannot accept scholarship applications written by ChatGPT or other AI technologies as our scholarships are awarded based on your individual skills and merit.

We have a range of International Scholarship available that you can apply for. These range from £2,000 to 50% off your tuition fees. We also have some external scholarships available that are run in collaboration with NTU. These include the British Council Scholarship and Chevening Scholarship among others. More details can be found on our webpages or through your own research.

No. We want to hear your authentic voice and personality in your writing, not an AI Generated version. If your chosen AI platform offers to help, don’t be tempted. Statements that are obviously written by AI, and not your original work, may not be considered by the awarding committee.

We offer multiple application deadlines throughout the year and the results of your scholarship will be shared around 3 weeks after each deadline. We always list the deadlines on the scholarships page and will indicate when the final scholarship deadline for the academic year is to ensure you have an opportunity to apply. You can only apply as a prospective student who has yet to begin their studies at NTU.

We offer several criteria-based awards which allows you to just fill in a few simple personal details so we can verify your application. Provided you meet the criteria, these will be awarded to you without needing to complete the scholarship essay. If you would like to be considered for all our awards, you can choose to fill in the entire application form including the 500 word scholarship essay.

You will need to contact the international team with the details of your award and which course you will now be studying. We will then review your scholarship to see if it can be applied to your new course.

Unfortunately you are not allowed to use your scholarship to make your advance payment. If you are awarded a scholarship from NTU, this will only be applied to your tuition fee records once you have enrolled. This means you need to have met all of the conditions of your offer, including the advance payment, before you receive your scholarship.

If you are deferring your academic course from a September to January intake, we can honour your scholarship for the same course. If you are changing course, please contact the international team. If you are deferring to the following academic year, you will not be able to defer your scholarship. You will need to reapply for the international Scholarship Scheme for the new intake.

Unfortunately, we cannot reconsider any applications once a decision has been made. Students can only apply once each academic year so make sure you include all details and information you wish the panel to know about in your sole application. Please do not use the personal statement submitted for your academic application for your scholarship application.

No, we only offer scholarships to students who have yet to begin their studies at NTU. As a current student you can check with your course team to find out if they offer any subject-specific scholarships. If you are struggling with your finances you can read some helpful information on our website.
