Introduction
Lancaster University is delighted to announce that we will offer a generous scholarship of £7000 to EU nationals who are liable for international fees. This scholarship will assist with student fees for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Taught programmes for 2021 entry.
The Lancaster EU Transition Scholarship recognises the longstanding relationship the University has had with students who are EU nationals and the significant change in fee arrangements arising from the UK’s departure from the EU that these applicants will not have been able to fully anticipate, in researching their options for study in 2021-22.
The scholarship is awarded as a fee waiver per year of study and will be automatically awarded if students meet the eligibility criteria and terms and conditions outlined below.
Eligibility criteria
- Undergraduate Awardees must achieve AAA at A level, or equivalent.
- Postgraduate Taught Awardees must achieve the equivalent of a UK first class undergraduate degree (1st).

- Fully funded applicants are not eligible for this scholarship.
- Partially funded applicants for less than 50% of their fees, would be eligible for this scholarship.
- Awardees must be classed as an ‘Overseas’ or ‘International’ fee-paying student for tuition fee purposes, for the duration of their studies.
-

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden
