Indian applicants benefit from automatic consideration once they receive an offer from UEA, eliminating the need for a separate scholarship application. The award is only available alongside the International Early Payment Awards and cannot be combined with other UEA scholarships.

Students fully sponsored by external organisations are ineligible, though government or educational loans requiring repayment do not affect eligibility.

“We want to make sure that bright international students, especially from India and the broader South Asian region, have access to high-quality, postgraduate education, and meaningful research opportunities. These scholarships are meant to recognise strong academic achievement and reduce financial burden. We hope this assistance helps students begin their advanced studies with greater confidence, security, and a strong sense of belonging to the UEA”, said Prof Steven McGuire, UEA’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor International.
