Eligibility Criteria

The eligibility criteria for each of the scholarships is set out in the appendices in this document.

If we are of the reasonable view that you do not meet our Eligibility Criteria and you wish to appeal, we will ask you to provide us with such proof as we deem necessary to make a new assessment. You must supply us with the requested evidence as soon as reasonably possible.  

Payment of your Scholarship

Removal of a Scholarship

We may remove the Scholarship immediately in the event that:   

• You withdraw from your programme of study; or
• You are expelled, suspended or excluded from the whole or part of the University or your programme of study for academic failure; or  
• We are of the reasonable opinion that you have made any misrepresentation (whether negligently or intentionally) to us either in respect of applying for the Scholarship or during the course of and in connection with your studies at the University; or  
• We are of the reasonable opinion that you have acted fraudulently or dishonestly in connection with securing your Scholarship or place at the University.  

In the event of a period of interruption to your studies, including maternity or paternity leave, any payments will be suspended until you return and progress to the next stage of your course. However, for students receiving a donor-funded scholarship it may not be possible for you to retain your scholarship if there is a period of interruption to your studies, and requests will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

The scholarship is offered for a specified course and will not be transferred to an alternative course should you later submit a transfer request.

If at any stage you decide to defer entry onto the course until the following year, then you will no longer be eligible for a Scholarship. You may apply again the following year, but an award cannot be guaranteed and you will be subject to the eligibility of whatever scheme operates in that year of entry.  

Repayment of the Scholarship  

In the event that your Scholarship is removed, you will be liable to pay us the monetary amount equating to your Scholarship, immediately on demand.  

If we have made an error in calculating your Scholarship and as a result you have received any funds to which you were not entitled, we may request that you repay us the amount overpaid and you will be liable to repay it to us within 30 days of our demand.  

In addition to any other rights we may have at law to take action against you for recovery or repayment, the amount so outstanding will be treated by us as a sum due to us in accordance with our General Regulations on Fees and Charges.

If you do not provide us with the required information for application of the scholarship when prompted, or if you provide us with incomplete or incorrect information, we will not be able to process your scholarship application further. 

We will aim to process all requests for the scholarship in a timely manner, once you have provided the relevant information regarding the scholarship and provided they meet our eligibility criteria. 

Provided we are satisfied that you meet our eligibility criteria, and you are chosen by the panel as the preferred recipient, you must then choose UEA as your firm choice (not insurance) via UCAS in order to receive the scholarship. 

Each scholarship’s availability is dependent on the generosity of the donor and on available funds. As such, we may withdraw the availability of scholarships at any time up until a formal scholarship offer is made to a recipient. 

We reserve the right to adjust scholarship eligibility criteria up until the application deadline, provided the change(s) do not make applications already submitted ineligible or disadvantage them in any way. 

If no candidate is judged to be of sufficient merit, scholarships will not be awarded. 

It is your responsibility to inform the Development Office of any other scholarship or tuition fee reduction which you are offered by UEA, as it is not possible to hold some UEA scholarships with a donor-funded scholarship. Where both a donor-fund scholarship has been offered by the Development Office and a UEA Scholarship has been offered by the Admissions Service or the relevant School, the combined amount of funding available will not exceed £10,000.

It is your responsibility to ensure that any change in bank account details is advised to the University. 

If you plan to change your course, intercalate or withdraw from your course, you are expected to inform both the University and the Development Office as soon as possible as this could affect your eligibility for the scholarship. 

Part-time students should understand that any support given will be proportional to tuition fees charged (where applicable) and will be spread pro-rata throughout the duration of the course.

Please also refer to the University's General Regulations for Students.

If successful, you will be registered and enrolled with us as a full-time or part-time postgraduate student for a credit-bearing postgraduate programme under our Degree Regulations set out in the University Calendar. You must abide by our Charter, Statutes, Ordinances, Regulations and Policies in force.

We may make changes to these Terms from time to time and the version that is applicable to you will be those that were in force at the date of your application.     

We have complete discretion to decide how long we will make any Scholarship scheme available for, for what period of time the Scholarship scheme will operate and may withdraw the Scholarship scheme at any time and without further notice.

Unless otherwise stated, these scholarships are tuition fee discounts which will be directly applied to your student account. No alternative/equivalent monetary payment will be made. 

The maximum period that an annual Scholarship will be applied to your account for a specific postgraduate programme is three years (36 months) for full-time students or six years (72 months) for part-time students.

If you change your mode of study, the Fees Officer will amend your account as set out in these Terms.

If you wish to decline a scholarship offer from us prior to registering at the University, please email admissions@uea.ac.uk. We will then withdraw our scholarship offer and confirm this in writing. Any offer of a place on one of our courses would not be affected.   

Please note that scholarship awards cannot be deferred to a subsequent year. If you do defer your entry to our course then any scholarship award will be removed. You can apply for the same or other scholarships the following year, but any award cannot be guaranteed.

Please note that until a Scholarship is applied to your student account in accordance with these

Terms, you remain liable to pay your full tuition and other fees to us in accordance with our General Regulations on Fees, Charges and Expenses and must be able to meet all of your costs without relying on the Discount. 
 

Removal of scholarship

We may remove the scholarship placed on your account immediately if:

• You are expelled, suspended or excluded from the whole or part of the University or your programme of study for academic failure; or
• We are of the reasonable opinion that you have made any misrepresentation (whether negligently or intentionally) to us either in respect of applying for the Scholarship or during the course of and in connection with your studies at the University; or
• We are of the reasonable opinion that you have acted fraudulently or dishonestly in connection with securing your Scholarship or place at the University.

In addition to requiring repayment, we may also take such action against you as is permitted under our Student Disciplinary Procedures or Fitness to Study Policy which are set out and available from the University Calendar. In the event of a period  of interruption to your studies, including parental leave, any payments will be suspended until you return and progress to the next stage of your course. However, for students receiving a donor-funded scholarship it may not be possible for you to retain your scholarship if there is a period of interruption to your studies, and requests will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. 

Donor-Funded scholarships may be withdrawn if you fail to: 

• Attend the required events (both the Scholars’ Welcome Reception and  Scholarships Reception events) or fail to provide the Development Office with communications for your donor when requested. Donor-funded scholarship stewardship may vary depending on the scholarship and students may be required to produce stewardship materials on an ad-hoc basis.
• Demonstrate satisfactory commitment to, or progression within, your studies. Donor-Funded scholars are expected to maintain strong attendance records and perform at strong academic standard.  
• Remain in good financial standing with the University. Scholarship instalments may not be paid if you have overdue tuition or accommodation charges.  
• Inform the Development Office that you are receiving another scholarship or other form of funding.  

Repaying the scholarship

In the event that your Scholarship is removed, you will be liable to pay us your full tuition fees and therefore reimburse us the monetary amount equating to your Scholarship, immediately on demand.

If we have made an error in calculating your Scholarship and as a result you have received an additional discount to which you were not entitled, we may request that you repay us the amount overpaid and you will be liable to repay it to us within 30 days of our demand.

In addition to any other rights we may have at law to take action against you for recovery or repayment, the amount so outstanding will be treated by us as a sum due to us in accordance with our General Regulations on Fees and Charges.
 

Variation of the Scholarship

We will unilaterally reconcile your student account and vary the amount of the Scholarship applied to your account, so that the Scholarship you actually receive never equates to more than the stated discount amount by you for that academic year, if we receive information suggesting that your anticipated tuition fee (on which the Scholarship was initially calculated) for that academic year is expected to change or has changed, for reasons including but not limited to:

1. where you receive a refund in accordance with our then existing Postgraduate Tuition Fees Refund Policy,
2. a change in your mode of study;
3. where you cease to be registered with us for any reason, including if you have withdrawn from your studies or your studies have been terminated earlier than the expected completion date;
4. where you change your programme of study;
5. where you take a period of intercalation from your programme of study;
6. you cease to meet the Eligibility Criteria and from that date; or
7. You fail to progress satisfactorily on your programme of study and from a date we reasonably determine.

In any of these situations and depending on your facts, you may be liable to make additional payments to us for your tuition fees or the actual monetary value of the Discount you receive from us may increase.
 

Agreement to participate in UEA marketing and promotion

You will be required to make yourself available, on reasonable notice, for any publicity and marketing campaigns we want to run in connection with the Scholarship scheme. This may include, but not be limited to, public appearances, speeches, blogging and/tweeting, interviews or photographs and providing student testimonials which can be used in publicity material.

You must also be prepared to send a testimonial one year after graduation, outlining your current position and how your studies at UEA have helped towards your career goals. Students may also be asked to assist at UEA Open Days where their academic programme allows, or to make themselves contactable by a small number of prospective students from their home country, to answer simple questions about UEA and/or their course of study.

For Donor-Funded scholarships you must attend two mandatory events during your first year of receiving the scholarship. The Scholars Welcome Reception event will be held in October/November and the Scholarships Reception will be held in the Spring. You may also be required to meet your donor at a separate, mutually convenient time.

For Donor-Funded Scholarships you must also consent to completing tasks set by the Development Office, including but not limited to: completing a donor thank-you letter, providing annual updates and sending a graduation photo, in a timely manner. You are expected to inform the Development Office of any contact with the donor other than that arranged by the University.
 

How we may use your personal information

We will use the personal information you provide to us to process your enrolment and administer the Scholarship scheme. We will retain all documents we receive in connection with the Scholarship scheme along with your other student records in accordance with our Data Protection Policy.

Where external donors are involved in the scholarship awarding process, you must consent to sharing all details included on your scholarship application with the donor. Failure to do so may result in your application being withdrawn. In signing the Scholarship Agreement, you also consent to the Development Office sharing your name, course of study and UEA email address with the donor.

If you meet the Eligibility Criteria and would like to be considered for a scholarship you must apply via the online form. Applications will be assessed by a panel and scored on the impact the teaching practice will have on the applicant and how undertaking the course will support Widening Participation goals. 

The criteria we will then assess applications on are: 

1. Identified potential impact on personal development; 
2. Identified potential impact on whole school;
3. Identified potential impact on children’s attainment and 
4. Clarity of application. 

You must provide us with relevant details of any relevant qualifications as part of the main course application process. If you do not provide us with the required information for application of the scholarship when prompted, or provide us with incomplete or incorrect information, we will not be able to process your scholarship application further.

Provided we are satisfied that you meet our Eligibility Criteria we will apply the scholarship to your student account. No cash alternative will be given.   

If we are of the reasonable view that you do not meet our Eligibility Criteria we will ask you to provide us with such proof as we deem necessary to make this assessment. You must supply us with the requested evidence as soon as reasonably possible.   

If we are satisfied with the proof provided we will apply the scholarship to your student account as set out. However, if we remain of the view that you still do not meet our Eligibility Criteria, we will advise you of this in writing. You will still meet our requirements for entry into your chosen programme of study but in this instance will be liable to pay all of your fees without the benefit of the scholarship.

8    Compliance with University Regulations

You must comply with the General Regulations for Students, the Students’ Union Code of Conduct, and any applicable uea+sport Codes of Conduct. 

Guidance
As a UEA student, you must adhere to all of the General Regulations. Note that the General Regulations apply to you during your period of registration at UEA, irrespective of whether you are competing, at home or away, one campus or off-campus, and whether in training, at competition, or socialising; whether acting as a sportsperson or otherwise. This means that poor behaviour in a non-sporting context may affect this Scholarship just as much as poor behaviour in a sporting context. Disciplinary penalties may include (but are not limited to) temporary or permanent removal of some or all of the benefits of the Scholarship, the Scholarship itself (which may require you to refund monies paid to you), or your suspension or expulsion from the University itself.
We draw your attention to the following Regulations in particular. You must: 

• Not commit or participate in any act the effect of which is to bring the University into disrepute in the mind of a reasonable person knowing the facts  (See Reg 10)
• Not commit or participate in any act that constitutes disorderly conduct causing nuisance or distress; nor any act that constitutes harassment as defined by paragraph 9 (‘University’s Definition of Harassment’) of the University’s Policy Statement on Student Harassment and Sexual or Physical Misconduct. (see Reg 10)
• Follow the University’s health and safety policies, codes and rules and follow any instructions given to you by a member of staff in the interests of your own and others’ health and safety (see Reg 12).
• Attend any meeting called by or on behalf of an officer of the University or a person responsible for you (this includes a member of the UEA+Sports team) (See Reg 13).
• Attend lectures, seminars, research training, and other classes and events that are required as part of your programme of study. Attendance means your physical presence on a timely basis (See Reg 13). 

You cannot be a sports scholar unless you are a scholar. Failure to meet the academic and attendance requirements of your course may result in you having to leave the university and thus lose your Scholarship. Moreover, repeated failures to comply with these requirements may lead us to suspend your Scholarship until such time as your academic advisor tells us that your attendance and engagement are satisfactory and that you are complying with Regulation 13 of the General Regulations for students.

Note also that sports clubs are constituted by the Students’ Union and the Union may apply its own penalties for breach of its Code of Conduct.

9    Promotional obligations

You must:

• 9.1. attend at least three promotional events each year from those that we request, such as recruitment/open/applicant days, media appearances, and outreach activities, provided always that we will provide you with reasonable notice.

Guidance
At the beginning of the academic year, you should contact your LTS team/PGR service team to request timetable adjustments (such as changing seminar groups) to enable you to attend fixtures, if such adjustments are possible. You should also utilise the extenuating circumstances policy where applicable in relation to national and international fixtures. If you feel that your sports commitments are interfering with your attendance and engagement on your course you must contact the uea+sport team and your academic advisor so that an appropriate support plan can be agreed that avoids you breaching General Regulation 13 or the terms of this Scholarship.

If we have made an error in calculating your Scholarship, and as a result you have received any funds to which you were not entitled, we may request that you repay us the amount overpaid, such overpayment to be made within 30 days of our written demand.

Guidance
Note that under the <University Disciplinary and Investigative Policies and Processes> the University (including the Student Sport Operations Manager) may levy a number of disciplinary sanctions.
