Funding Opportunities
SMART Scholarship
In recognition of the outstanding talent and achievements of many overseas applicants, the University of Staffordshire offers the SMART Scholarship. This scholarship is available for full-time, campus-based international fee-paying students and provides a £3,000 discount applied to every year of tuition fees (excluding placement years). The scholarship is awarded as part of the admissions process based on the student's application to study, with no separate application form required. The scholarship applies at the start of studies at the University and will be deducted from tuition fees, being demonstrated on the student's Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). There is no deadline for the SMART scholarship, though students must ensure they submit their application with sufficient time to meet all conditions of their offer and obtain a visa to arrive on time for Welcome Week.
