UK-based University of Essex announced the Academic Excellence International Master’s Scholarship for Indian students. This initiative is designed to provide financial support to Tier 2 university students in India pursuing postgraduate studies in the UK. Scholarships worth up to £3000 are available for Indian students who are looking to enroll in January 2024 intakes, as per the official release.
The scholarship is open to Indian students from Tier 2 universities who have completed their undergraduate degrees either overseas or in the UK and are self-funding their postgraduate studies. The application process is simplified, as applicants are automatically considered upon submission of a complete application for relevant courses. This eliminates the need for a separate scholarship application, streamlining the process for prospective students, it added.
Emphasising academic merit, the scholarship awards are based on a candidate’s academic achievements. Applicants are required to submit a detailed statement of purpose, along with academic or work references and valid English Language test results. Also, students who have achieved a minimum of 60% or CGPA 6.5/10 or CGPA 2.6/4 are eligible for the scholarship, as explained in the release.
“Empowering Tier 2 university students to reach new heights, the University of Essex is thrilled to unveil the Academic Excellence International Master’s Scholarship. This initiative is more than a financial boost; it’s a beacon of recognition for the academic prowess of Indian students. As we welcome the January 2024 intakes, our streamlined application process ensures that every eligible student is automatically considered,” Vanessa Potter, director of communications and external relations, University of Essex, said.
The last date of the submission of the scholarship is November 30, 2023.
