We believe exceptional academic performance and contributions towards the community should be recognised and rewarded. If you are an international student starting an undergraduate course at City St George's in September 2026, a 50% scholarship is available for your first year.
This scholarship is designed as a recognition of the growing cost of studying at university. As such, the President’s International scholars will be awarded the scholarship as a discount in the fee amount due in the first year of their study.
The successful scholars will also be expected to be ambassadors for the City St George's community. This will include representing the University at events, both on and off campus, contributing towards societies and supporting broader community engagement initiatives.
For students starting in 2026, there are up to thirty of these generous scholarships available.
