Scholarships
Check the academic-year edition — 2025/26 vs 2026/27 terms differ
Northumbria publishes its scholarships per academic year and older editions stay online at parallel URLs — only the 2026/27 editions (dated April 2026) are stored here. All country awards are automatic tuition-fee discounts for self-funded Overseas-fee students at the Newcastle campus, withdrawn on deferral, with no appeal; the central Fees & Funding pages are canonical. Awards do not combine with each other (highest value applies) — only the £500 Early Payment Discount officially stacks. Always confirm the edition for your intake before advising students.
