Frequently Asked Questions

Are the scholarships available to study in other universities?
No, the Chancellor’s International Scholarships can only be held at the University of Sussex.

I am an EU student – am I eligible to apply?
The scholarships are available to students paying the higher “overseas” rate of fee. In most cases EU students will not be eligible unless you have been specifically classified as liable to pay the overseas rate.

If I am a current Sussex student can I apply?
You must be applying for a new degree at Sussex, so you would be eligible if you are completing our International Foundation Year and applying for an Undergraduate degree, or Postgraduate Diploma and applying for a Postgraduate taught degree.

How can I find out whether I have been classified as an “overseas” fee paying student?
This information is provided when Sussex makes you an offer of a place on a degree programme. If you are uncertain about your fee status you should contact the Undergraduate or Postgraduate Office as appropriate.

If I am offered a scholarship but defer my place at Sussex, can the scholarship be carried over to the next year?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to carry over a scholarship to another year. You would need to submit a new application for the year in which you wish to enter Sussex.

If I have funding from another source can I also apply for a scholarship?
Yes – the scholarships are available to funded and self-financing students.

Are the scholarships available to study at Research (MPhil, DPhil) level?
No – the Chancellor’s International Scholarships are available for study at Undergraduate and taught Postgraduate levels. Note that the MSc in Social Research Methods and DPhil combined (1 + 3 degrees) are also not eligible.

On what basis will the scholarships be awarded?

These factors will be assessed by a selection panel at Sussex using the information provided on the Scholarship Application Form.
