The International Excellence Award at the University of Surrey is a competitive scholarship that provides a £5,000 tuition fee waiver to selected self-funded international students beginning a full-time undergraduate (bachelor's) degree. The award recognises academic excellence and is decided by a scholarship panel that assesses previous academic performance, predicted grades and the personal statement.
Applicants must hold an offer for first-year entry (FHEQ Level 4) and Surrey must be their firm choice on UCAS. The scholarship is available only to overseas fee-paying students, excludes part-time and distance-learning courses, and is not open to students from the Surrey International Study Centre (SISC).
Applicants must apply for the scholarship before a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) is issued; awards cannot be applied after CAS allocation. Recipients cannot hold any other Surrey scholarship and the award is not deferrable; deferred applicants must reapply subject to availability.
Applications are reviewed monthly for September 2026 entry. For September 2026 entry the main-cycle scholarship deadline (20 July 2026) has passed, but Clearing applications are open from 1 August 2026 and close on 25 August 2026.
