The University of East Anglia (UEA), among the UK’s top 30 universities, has announced the Vice Chancellor’s Global Impact and Leadership Scholarship for Indian students aspiring to commence their postgraduate studies in September 2026.
The award offers a £ 10,000 tuition fee discount for eligible postgraduate taught programmes at UEA. For students enrolled in two-year programmes, the grant will apply only to the first year of study. As part of the application process, students are required to submit written responses addressing three questions: reasons for selecting UEA and their chosen programme, their future career and leadership aspirations, and how their studies will equip them to create a meaningful global impact. Applications will be reviewed by dedicated panels in March and June 2026, with successful applicants informed shortly after each review round. The final application deadline is June 26, 2026.
To be eligible, applicants must be Indian citizens holding a conditional or unconditional offer for an eligible postgraduate taught programme at UEA, classified as overseas fee-paying students, and must have achieved or be on track to achieve at least the equivalent of a UK 2:1 undergraduate degree.
