About This Opportunity

The Telles Scholarship is a comprehensive funding opportunity offered by UCL and the Telles Foundation for talented Brazilian students. This scholarship removes financial barriers and enables access to a world-class education at UCL's Faculty of Engineering. The scholarship covers a four-year program, starting with the Undergraduate Preparatory Certificate (UPC) for Science and Engineering, followed by a three-year undergraduate degree in Computer Science BSc, Electronic and Electrical Engineering BEng, or Mechanical Engineering BEng. Recipients receive full tuition fees coverage for four years, £24,500 maintenance per year, and financial contributions towards technical equipment, visa fees, and NHS surcharge fees. The scholarship also includes dedicated pastoral support through a Telles Scholars Tutor who provides guidance and assistance throughout the student's academic journey. This transformational opportunity is designed specifically for low-income Brazilian nationals who demonstrate financial need, academic excellence, and enthusiasm for engineering studies.
