UCL Global Undergraduate Scholarship 2024

UCL provides 10 awards covering full tuition fees and a maintenance allowance, and 23 awards that cover full tuition fees only. According to the official website, "Guidance on how UCL defines household income can be found on our essential information page. Although UCL classifies 'lower-income' as £42,875 (Rs 45,89,000) or less, this is a guide only, and we would still consider your application if your household income is above £42,875."

Applicants must be from any country outside the UK and meet the following criteria:

Have submitted an admission application for a full-time undergraduate degree at UCL
Be eligible to pay the overseas fee rate
Come from a low-income background

The scholarship is valid for the standard duration of the program. Recipients must inform the UCL Student Funding Office of any additional funding they receive for their UCL undergraduate degree studies, whether before or after being awarded the UCL Global Undergraduate Scholarship.

This initiative aims to make higher education accessible to talented students regardless of their financial background. By offering these scholarships, UCL seeks to support students who might otherwise struggle to afford higher education, providing substantial financial assistance to ease their burden.
