Notes and eligibility criteria:

Candidates for Open Scholarships must be classified by the University as international students for fees purposes.
For Open Scholarships, candidates must not be in receipt of a full scholarship (tuition fees and living costs) from any other sources. Students with partial scholarships from other sources will be considered.
Open Scholarships are awarded in the form of a reduction in tuition fees payable.
Where an Open Scholarship is awarded to a candidate who is also eligible for a fee discount, the discount will be calculated after the scholarship reduction to the tuition fees payable has been made.
