Nottingham Trent University (NTU)

The NTU Excellence Scholarship offers either 25% or 50% off your first-year tuition fee (undergraduates also get £3,000/year for every year after that). This matches what real applicants report seeing — the tier isn't a fixed formula by grades or country, it's decided by a competitive assessment of your application.

You have to apply separately with a 500-word essay — it's not automatic, and NTU doesn't publish what specifically separates a 25% award from a 50% one beyond 'the strength of your application.' A total-scholarship cap of 50% of first-year fees applies even if you'd otherwise qualify for more than one award. NTU also runs smaller, narrower awards: an 'India Prestigious University Award' (postgraduate only, up to £4,000, needs strong transcripts but no essay), country-group-based Regional Masters and High Achievers awards (£3,000-£5,000), and a 20% Sibling Loyalty Reward if a sibling already studies at NTU.

International tuition varies by programme — check ntu.ac.uk for the current rate for your specific course.
