We believe that every able student who wishes to go on to university should be given the opportunity to do so – no matter their social background. We remain committed to be socially inclusive attracting the best and brightest minds delivering the most able and talented graduates to the employment marketplace. We can do this and be different, by being true to ourselves and our history at UEA.

We would like to award 50 'Difference' Scholarships to undergraduates and postgraduates arriving in 2013, coinciding with our 50th birthday. 25 Undergraduate Scholarships, worth £3,000 per year for a maximum three-year period, and 25 Postgraduate Scholarships, worth £3,000 for one year, will be available to recipients who apply and meet certain criteria. Full details of the Scholarships will be publicised to all eligible students with appropriate information on selection criteria and application timescales.

Scholarships and bursaries have, in the past, enabled those students who otherwise may not have done to experience life and a higher education at UEA. As with many of our alumni, they have gone on to lead, pioneer and make a difference in their respective fields.

In the future, scholarships will increasingly feature centre stage.
