How to Apply for an NTU International Scholarship
- Apply for an eligible NTU programme.
- Receive an offer from Nottingham Trent University.
- Open the official international scholarship application.
- Enter the required personal and course information.
- Complete the scholarship statement where required.
- Submit the form before the relevant deadline.
Only one application form is required. NTU will consider applicants for all scholarships and awards for which they are eligible.
Important Rule for Scholarship Statements
NTU specifically states that scholarship statements must be written by the applicant. The university says applications that appear to have been generated by artificial intelligence may not be considered because selection is intended to assess the applicant's own achievements, goals and personality.
When Will Applicants Receive a Decision?
NTU states that scholarship applicants are normally informed of the result within several weeks of the relevant application deadline. Successful awards are applied as tuition-fee reductions once the student has satisfied the course-offer conditions and enrolled.
International students planning to join NTU in January 2027 should aim for the September 30 first deadline where possible. Those who miss the first round can still submit an application before the final deadline of October 31, 2026 at 4:00 PM GMT.
