Chancellor's International Scholarship

To honour Dame Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock PhD as the University of Leicester's Chancellor, the University offers the Chancellor's International Scholarship to all international-fee-paying students who meet entry requirements for an undergraduate taught degree. Dame Maggie was born in London to Nigerian parents and is an award-winning space scientist, broadcaster and author. This scholarship, worth £3,000 per year, reflects the University's commitment to attracting talented students from around the world. The scholarship rewards academic achievement for all international qualifications equivalent to British A-levels.

The scholarship is automatically awarded to eligible students, with no separate application required. Students will be notified of the award when they submit their final results.
