GREAT Scholarship

This is a competitive process, and only a small number of applicants per country will be successful.

A panel of senior staff from the University will select the successful scholarship awardees.

We aim to inform you of the outcome of your scholarship application.

Once offered a scholarship, you must:

• Accept the offer formally, following the link within your offer email
• Make York your firm choice

These actions must be completed by the deadline provided in your offer email. Otherwise, you will lose your scholarship, and it will be offered to a reserve candidate.

Applicants will be assessed based on a written application and prior academic merit. Strong preference will be given to applicants with the strongest academic record (for example, a UK first class degree or equivalent).
