Reach Oxford Scholarship

Course fees, a grant for living costs, and one return air fare per year, for the 3- or 4-year length of the course. Receipt of the award in subsequent years is subject to satisfactory academic progress.

Eligibility: Open to nationals of countries on the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list of aid recipients who, for political or financial reasons, or because suitable educational facilities do not exist, cannot study for a degree in their own country. For new undergraduates in all subjects in the course listing except medicine. The scheme is only suitable for candidates who have received an offer and who are of the highest academic ability; financial need, social commitment and inability to study for a degree in their own country are also major selection criteria. Applicants should intend to return to their home country after their studies. Around 2-3 awards are made per year and competition is very high.

Applications for 2026 entry closed on 4 February 2026; details for 2027 entry are due to be published on this page in January 2027. Not all Oxford colleges offer Reach Oxford Scholarships every year — being placed at a non-participating college does not prevent an application, and successful applicants are transferred to a participating college.

UCL Global Undergraduate Scholarship

Up to 33 awards for 2026/27: 10 covering full tuition fees plus a maintenance allowance and a fixed allowance for costs such as the Immigration Health Surcharge and visa fees; 20 covering full tuition fees only; and 3 (reserved for applicants from India) covering full tuition fees. Valid for the standard duration of the undergraduate programme.

Eligibility: Prospective international (overseas fee-status) applicants to any full-time UCL Undergraduate degree, from a low-income household. UCL generally uses a threshold of £42,875 or less annual household income as a guide, though applications above this may still be considered. Selection is based entirely on financial need; no academic grade threshold is published. Applicant must have submitted a UCL admission application for 2026/27 entry. Deadline 5pm BST, Monday 27 April 2026.

Competitive and need-based, not grade-gated. Requires a separate scholarship application via Portico once fee status is confirmed; incomplete or late applications are not considered. Checked in a browser on 11 Sep 2026: the page still describes only the 2026/27 round, whose deadline (27 April 2026) and notification date (3 June 2026) have both passed. UCL has not published 2027/28 terms, so a 2027-entry applicant should expect these figures to be restated rather than treat them as open.

CUHK Admission Scholarships

From HK$5,000 up to full tuition. Many awards are renewable for the normative period of the programme subject to satisfactory academic progress, and some also carry an allowance of up to HK$66,000 per year.

Eligibility: Awarded to new local and non-local undergraduate students on the basis of excellent academic or non-academic performance. There is no application: the University identifies qualified new students and tells the selected ones about the offer.

Value and renewal terms differ from award to award — the range quoted spans the whole scheme, not one guaranteed amount.

HKSAR Government Scholarship Fund

HK$80,000 per year for non-local students; HK$40,000 per year for local students.

Eligibility: Established by the Hong Kong SAR Government in 2008 to recognise distinguished local students studying locally and meritorious non-local students pursuing higher education in Hong Kong.

A government fund described here on CUHK’s own admissions page, awarded to students at Hong Kong institutions rather than applied for directly through the University.

CUHK non-academic excellence scholarships for non-local students

One-off awards ranging from HK$50,000 to HK$214,000 each.

Eligibility: Non-local students who excel in non-academic areas such as sports, music, art, science and technology.

One-off and not renewable. The page states these may be awarded, not that every qualifying student receives one.

UNSW International Student Award

A 20% contribution towards tuition fees each term for the duration of the program. It can be combined with other UNSW scholarships, but not with special offers or tuition fee arrangements under the Sponsor Partners Program.

Eligibility: For international students who are citizens of an eligible country, commencing full-time study as a new student on campus in a UNSW Diploma, undergraduate or postgraduate coursework program in 2026 or 2027, holding an offer of admission and not already a UNSW student. Programs offered by AGSM, UNSW Online, UNSW Canberra, UNSW Foundation Programs, Transition Program Online, any Hexamester-calendar program, and Study Abroad students are excluded. Applicants submit a personal statement of no more than 500 words on their reasons for studying the proposed program.

UNSW publishes an explicit "How will I be assessed?" section for this award: applicants are assessed on their ability to demonstrate "Academic Merit" and "Aptitude and commitment to studies". That is a statement about how the award is decided, not merely a bar to apply, and no financial circumstances are named — hence merit rather than both. Confirmation arrives within two days of the offer. The award cannot be deferred.

UNSW International Scientia Coursework Scholarship (PUCA1025)

Either full tuition fee support for the minimum duration of the program, or a $20,000 contribution each year towards tuition fees for the minimum duration of the program. Recipients may also receive invitations to UNSW networking events and guaranteed entry to the UNSW Professional Development Program.

Eligibility: For international coursework students. UNSW states the award rewards high academic achievement, leadership demonstrated at school, in the workplace or in the community, and extracurricular activities such as sport, cultural activities, volunteer work or work experience. A separate scholarship application is required.

Merit is stated in UNSW's own words — the award "rewards students with high academic achievement, leadership skills ... and extracurricular activities" — with no financial-need element, so merit rather than both. No coveragePercentage is recorded: UNSW writes "full tuition fee support", never a percentage, and inventing 100 would be putting a number in the university's mouth.

Australia's Global University Award (PUCA1026)

A once-off payment of $10,000 towards tuition fees.

Eligibility: For international students applying to UNSW. No separate application is needed — anyone who meets the eligibility criteria is automatically considered when they apply to study at UNSW. UNSW states the scholarship rewards students with high academic achievement.

UNSW's description — "This scholarship rewards students with high academic achievement" — is a direct statement about what the award is given for, so merit is recorded. There is no financial-need element and no application, so it is not both. A fixed cash contribution rather than a percentage, so no coveragePercentage.

UNSW College Award (PUCA1027)

A once-off payment of $10,000 towards tuition fees.

Eligibility: For any student who has successfully completed a UNSW College Foundation Studies program and plans to study a UNSW bachelor's degree. Considered automatically — no separate application. UNSW states the award rewards high academic achievement during UNSW College Foundation Studies.

Recorded as merit on UNSW's own wording that it "rewards students with high academic achievement during their UNSW College Foundation Studies". This route is only open to students who came through UNSW College Foundation Studies — it is not a general international award — but it applies to any UNSW bachelor's degree, so it attaches to every undergraduate program here. A fixed cash contribution, so no coveragePercentage.

Deutschlandstipendium at TUM

EUR 300 per month plus contact with TUM's industry and cooperation partners, for a period based on the standard period of study. Half is financed by the federal government and half by a sponsor from industry or the private sector.

Eligibility: Open to bachelor's and master's students at TUM and to school leavers about to begin studying at TUM. Explicitly not purely merit-based: TUM states that grades alone are not decisive and that the award rewards students who take on responsibility, show commitment, or master their personal path in life.

TUM awards Deutschlandstipendium scholarships at large scale — more than 9,600 TUM students have received financial and non-material support under the programme since it began. Scholarship holders also join the Ideal support programme of events with foundations and companies. No numeric grade threshold is published, so none is recorded here.

Vice-Chancellor's International Scholarships Scheme (VCIS)

Up to $60,000. Five amounts are offered based on ranking against selection criteria: $60,000 or $40,000 payable for one year in two equal instalments per semester; $20,000, $10,000 or $5,000 payable for one semester.

Eligibility: International student who has applied for a CRICOS-registered coursework degree and received an unconditional offer of admission. No application is required — all eligible students with an unconditional offer by the closing dates are automatically considered.

Awarded once at commencement and not renewable for later years. From 2026 intakes there is a maximum cap of $40,000 for students who are also recipients of the Sydney International Student Award.

Sydney International Student Award

20 percent contribution to tuition fees for the duration of the course, applied as a reduction of the tuition fee liability in the offer letter.

Eligibility: International student holding citizenship in one of the eligible countries or regions listed on the award page (across Africa, South & Central America, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and much of South, Southeast and East Asia), admitted to a new full-time undergraduate or postgraduate coursework degree commencing in 2026, not an Australian or New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent resident. Applicants from eligible countries are prompted to apply within the admission process.

Currently published for new commencements in 2026. Not available for MBA/EMBA, study abroad, executive education, distance-mode courses or Law Dual Degree pathway programs. Capped at $40,000 if combined with VCIS under 2026 arrangements.

Sydney International Undergraduate Academic Excellence Scholarship

100% tuition fees plus the Student Services and Amenities Fee, for the published full-time duration of the recipient’s single undergraduate degree (including embedded honours), up to a maximum of 4 years full-time study. Approximately 20 scholarships awarded globally per year across the two intakes.

Eligibility: International student (as defined by the Higher Education Support Act 2003) who has applied for but not yet commenced a single undergraduate coursework degree of up to 4 years (embedded honours included), has completed secondary school or a recognised foundation program, has not previously undertaken tertiary studies, is not commencing a second degree at Sydney, and will enrol full-time. Selection weighs academic merit plus diversity of nationality and intended degree; an online application is required.

Not available for combined degrees with a postgraduate component, the BA/BSc dual degrees with Sciences Po (France), or degrees including the Bachelor of Advanced Studies. Recipients still cover OSHC, living costs and other personal expenses.

ANU International Achievement Awards
