Scholarship Coverage
For the 2026–27 academic year, UCL will award up to 33 scholarships, divided into three categories:

- 20 scholarships covering full tuition fees only
- 3 dedicated scholarships reserved specifically for students from India covering full tuition fees
The award is valid for the full duration of undergraduate study, typically three to four years, depending on the program.
Eligibility Criteria
The scholarship is open to international students from a wide range of countries, including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and others. Applicants must:
- Be classified as overseas fee-paying students
- Come from a low-income background (as defined by UCL)
- Have applied for a full-time undergraduate degree at UCL for the 2026 intake
Application Requirements
Applicants are required to submit supporting documents such as academic transcripts, personal statements, and financial information. A separate scholarship application must be submitted through UCL’s Portico system after applying for admission.
Results Timeline
Successful applicants are typically notified by early June 2026, ahead of UCAS university decision deadlines.
UCL emphasizes that the scholarship is highly competitive and based primarily on financial need rather than academic merit alone.
