Successful students will be notified in their offer letter, with the awards made at the University’s discretion.

International Development Scholarship

This is for students who have studied in an emerging or developing country (as defined by the IMF) and wish to return to their own country of origin to contribute to the country’s development. It is worth £1,000 towards your tuition fees. Successful students will be notified in their offer letter, with the awards made at the University’s discretion.

International Family Scholarship

This is for siblings of students who have studied/are studying at Edge Hill, and is worth £1,000 towards your tuition fees. You must state the name of your sibling (brother or sister) when applying, as well as the course they completed or are registered for.
