About This Scholarship
About This Scholarship
The UCL Global Undergraduate Scholarship is a major financial support program created by University College London to help talented international students who cannot fully afford the cost of studying in the UK. The goal of this scholarship is simple: to make sure that students with strong academic ability are not held back because of money.
UCL is one of the top universities in the world and attracts students from many countries. Through this scholarship, the university gives students from low-income families the chance to study in a high-quality academic environment and build a strong future.
For many students, this scholarship is more than financial help. It is an opportunity to focus on their education without constant worry about tuition fees and living costs, while becoming part of a global student community.

UCL generally considers a household to be low income if the total yearly income is £25,000 or less. They may also describe a household as lower income if the yearly income is £42,875 or less (or the equivalent amount in another country’s currency).
However, these figures are only used as a general guide. UCL also looks at each applicant’s full financial situation when making their decision, not just the income number alone
2 Can You Hold More Than One Scholarship?
Yes, you are allowed to apply for more than one scholarship as long as you meet the requirements for each one. If you are lucky enough to receive more than one award, you must let the Student Funding Office know if you get any extra funding after you have accepted a scholarship offer.
