Scholarship value
A 15% discount on the tuition fees for the academic year
2013/14. This discount is a single contribution and will not be continued in
subsequent years and is not applicable to any additional fees such as
resubmission or module resit fees. No cash alternative will be offered.
The scholarship does not replace the deposit of £3000. All
scholarship awardees will need to pay the £3000 deposit for their course
in order to receive an unconditional offer and a Confirmation of Acceptance of
Studies (CAS).
Scholarship awardees will be responsible for paying the
remainder of their tuition fees after the scholarship contribution is deducted
from the total fees.
Scholarship awards will not be credited towards tuition fees
until the applicant has fully registered at Brunel University. This
includes having qualifications and other documentation verified and checked and
holding the correct visa to study.
Scholarship awardees who have already paid the full course
fees will receive a refund once they have met all conditions of their offer and
registered as a student at Brunel University.
Those awarded a Brunel International Scholarship may
be eligible for the 2% prompt payment discount. This will be deducted from
the tuition fees remaining after the scholarship discount has been applied. See
