Highlights
Things you should be aware of
Highlights
- If the fee status (oversea) of the applicant changes after the scholarship application is made, then the University will need to remove the scholarship.
- The combined scholarship amounts cannot exceed £7,000, therefore IRO will not make an award in addition to any other University award, which will amount to more than this.
- Scholarship holders, having accepted an award, are reasonably expected to co-operate in Swansea University recruitment activities and automatically agree to their names and details being released by the University’s International Recruitment and Operations department for marketing purposes.
- If, in the view of the appropriate Head of School, a Scholarship holder’s progress is deemed to be unsatisfactory, the Scholarship may be withdrawn.
