York International Undergraduate Scholarship 2027 In Uk

University of York International Undergraduate Scholarship 2027 in the UK: £5,000 a Year for International Students — No Separate Application

Applications are now open for the University of York International Undergraduate Scholarship 2027, a tuition-fee discount for international students starting a full-time undergraduate degree at the University of York in September 2027. The award is worth £5,000 for each year of study, and — unusually for a scholarship of this size — there is no separate scholarship application to complete. Every eligible student who holds an offer from York receives it automatically.

This is a partial funding opportunity, not a fully funded scholarship. The £5,000 a year comes off your tuition fees, so you still need to plan funding for the rest of your tuition and for living costs such as accommodation, food, books, travel and personal expenses. That said, a guaranteed £5,000 a year for the full length of your degree is a meaningful reduction in the cost of studying at a leading UK research university — and because it is automatic, you do not have to write an extra essay or meet a separate scholarship deadline to get it.

What does the scholarship cover?

The University of York International Undergraduate Scholarship is a £5,000 tuition fee discount for each year of your study, provided you progress successfully through your course. It is awarded to international undergraduate students starting their studies at York in September 2027.

There is no separate application form. The University of York states: "All eligible undergraduate students holding an offer at York will receive this scholarship. You will not need to formally apply for the scholarship." When you receive your scholarship letter, you must formally accept the scholarship offer using the link provided in your offer email, by the deadline given in that email.

Who can apply? Eligibility requirements

To be eligible for the York International Undergraduate Scholarship, you must:

• Be domiciled in one of the eligible countries — the list includes Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, the USA, Canada, and many other countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas and the Middle East
• Hold a conditional or unconditional offer to study at the University of York by 1 July 2027
• Be paying fees at the overseas (international) fee rate, with any fee assessment completed by 1 July 2027
• Intend to study a full-time undergraduate course starting in September 2027, based at the University of York campus
• Be joining in Year 1 of your course of study

All undergraduate courses are eligible, with the exceptions listed below.

You will not be eligible if:

• You hold a 100% tuition fee scholarship or are fully sponsored
• You are on one of these excluded pathways: Hull York Medical School; the University of York International Pathway College; distance and online learning courses; part-time courses; partnership and exchange students (including visiting students); Kaplan International College London; courses which have the same Home and International fee; or you are not joining in Year 1 of your course
• York notes that it may exclude other courses and pathways before the academic year begins, so check the official page before you apply

A few important terms to know: if you defer your place at York, you cannot keep the scholarship. If you are eligible for more than one University of York scholarship, you will receive the highest-value one — York scholarships cannot be combined. If you receive a scholarship from an external provider, York will reduce your award. And if a credibility interview is required as part of your application, the scholarship is conditional on a successful outcome.

How to apply: step-by-step

There is no scholarship form to fill in. Here is how it works:

1. Apply to the University of York for a full-time undergraduate course starting in September 2027, through UCAS. The UCAS equal-consideration deadline for 2027 entry is 13 January 2027, so aim to submit well before then.
2. Secure a conditional or unconditional offer from York by 1 July 2027, and make sure any fee assessment is completed by the same date.
3. If you are eligible, York will include the £5,000-a-year scholarship in your offer. Accept the scholarship formally using the link in your offer email, by the deadline stated in that email.
4. The discount is applied to your tuition fees each year, as long as you progress successfully through your course.

Please note: York's scholarship page currently carries a notice that scholarships for 2027 entry will be opening soon. The award itself is automatic for eligible offer-holders, so there is no separate application window to wait for — but always confirm the latest terms on the official page linked below before you rely on them.

Application deadline

Hold a conditional or unconditional offer from the University of York by 1 July 2027. That is the key date for this scholarship: there is no separate scholarship deadline, because the award is automatic. In practice, apply through UCAS by the 13 January 2027 equal-consideration deadline to give yourself the best chance of receiving an offer in good time.

This is a different award from the York University President's International Scholarship of Excellence in Canada — that is a separate university (York University, Toronto) with its own CAD 180,000 award. Do not confuse the two.
