Nottingham Trent University (NTU), UK, has announced a scholarship package for Indian students, offering up to 50% tuition fee support to those that demonstrate excellent academic achievement and the potential to contribute to the University community.
The merit-based awards come as India emerges as NTU’s largest international student community. The expanded scholarship support reflects growing interest among Indian students in UK higher education and aims to ease financial access to globally recognised degrees.
NTU’s flagship Excellence Scholarships are highly competitive, and are awarded on merit, recognising high-achieving applicants with significant tuition fee reductions. Undergraduate students can apply for a 50% or 25% fee waiver in the first year, followed by £3,000 per year for subsequent years. Over the duration of the degree, this can amount to total support of up to £15,350 (50%) or £10,675 (25%).
For postgraduate students, scholarship awards range between £2,000 and £12,500, depending on the level of award and the course selected.
Beyond the Excellence Scholarships, Indian students are also eligible to apply for a range of additional funding opportunities designed to further support their academic journey.
| Scholarship | Amount |
| Undergraduate Executive Dean’s Scholarship | £5,000 |
| NTU International Merit Scholarship | £3,000 |
| NTU International Scholarship | £2,000 |
| Sibling Loyalty Reward | 20% reduction in tuition fees for students with a sibling already studying at NTU |
| MBA Excellence Scholarship | Up to 50% of the tuition fee |
Indian applicants are required to secure an offer for an eligible undergraduate or postgraduate programme before applying for a scholarship. Awards are granted on merit and assessed on academic performance, leadership potential and the applicant’s broader commitment.
Scholarship applications will be reviewed in three rounds, with deadlines on 25 March, 22 April and 24 June 2026. Candidates are encouraged to apply in the earliest possible round to allow adequate time for visa processing and academic planning.
