Undergraduate International Scholarship

The undergraduate fees are fixed at the point you start your course at Keele, so there will be no change in the fee charged to you from year to year. Keele also allows you to pay your annual fees in two instalments at no additional cost.

Postgraduate International Scholarship

The Keele International Student Scholarship for postgraduate students from all countries is worth GBP3000 towards the cost of your Master's tuition fees. The Scholarships are awarded to students who can demonstrate excellence in at least two of the following areas:

* Academic qualifications,
* English Language ability,
* Understanding of the course and motivation to study at Keele,
* Extra-curricular or work experience

To apply for the KISS Scholarship you must have applied to Keele and been offered a place to study here.  You must then complete a separate application form. Applications must have been received and processed before the start of academic year for which the application is made.  KIS Scholarships cannot be awarded to students who have already started their degree at Keele. A committee will meet once a month to consider applications submitted for the Scholarship.  The next deadline for applications is Thursday 20th December 2012.

A third of their applicants were successful in the first round of applications - congratulations to all those who have been awarded a Scholarship.  Their successful applicants came from a variety of countries including China, Nigeria, South Africa and Vietnam and have applied for a diverse range of courses including Biomedical Blood Sciences, Finance and Management, Globalisation and Justice, Human Rights and Politics and IR. The decisions on Scholarships are made by the International Recruitment Team and their decision is final.
