University of Westminster Full International Scholarship
About this scholarship
The University of Westminster Full International Scholarship is the university’s most prestigious and competitive award, created to fully fund a talented student from a developing country through an entire undergraduate degree in London. Unlike most UK scholarships, which offer only a partial fee discount, this award removes nearly every financial barrier to studying abroad, which is why it attracts applicants from around the world each year.
The University of Westminster is a long-established public university in central London, with a strong reputation for media, design, architecture, business, law, and the sciences, and a highly international student body. Its main campuses sit close to landmarks such as Regent Street and Baker Street, placing scholarship holders at the heart of one of the world’s leading student cities.
The scholarship is genuinely comprehensive. It covers full tuition fees for the standard duration of the degree, university accommodation, a contribution towards living expenses, and return flights to and from London. Funding is renewed each year of the course, subject to satisfactory academic progress, so a successful applicant can complete their studies with their core costs met throughout.
Awards are decided on three criteria: academic excellence, demonstrated financial need, and development potential, meaning the university looks for students who will use their education to contribute to their home country. The scholarship is aimed at international, overseas fee-paying students from developing or middle-income nations; applicants from high-income countries are not eligible, and it is not open to those who already hold an equivalent or higher qualification.
Because it is so generous, competition is intense and the university funds only a small number of students, so a strong, carefully prepared application is essential. You must first apply for and receive an offer for a full-time undergraduate course at Westminster, and then submit the dedicated scholarship application with your supporting documents before the published deadline. For high-achieving students from developing countries who need full funding to study in the UK, this is one of the most valuable undergraduate scholarships available.
