To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Warwick International Foundation Programme, we will be offering a number of academic scholarships to outstanding applicants who join the 2024-25 Warwick IFP. In total, we will have £40,000 of scholarships available, with 17 scholarships to award.

The scholarships will be broken down to:

• Two (2) Director's Scholarships, of £5,000 each, reserved for outstanding students who can demonstrate exemplary prior academic achievements and commitment to their future studies and degree.
• Fifteen (15) Anniversary Scholarships, of £2,000 each, based on students who have submitted outstanding personal statements which outline their commitment to their future studies and degree.
  • 10 of our £2,000 anniversary scholarships will be reserved for students applying from China (mainland), Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Russia, Kazakhstan, or Nigeria.
  • The remaining 5 anniversary scholarships are open to students applying from any region.

Eligibility Criteria

In order to be eligible, you must:

• Apply for the Warwick IFP and submit your supporting documents (Transcript and Personal Statement)
• Ensure that your Personal Statement meets all of our requirements
• Accept a Conditional Offer for the IFP and pay the academic deposit by 30th June 2024

What are we looking for?

Initially, we will be reviewing your Personal Statement, so please ensure that you pay attention to our guidance before making your application.

We want to see a student with lots of academic potential, who has a clear enthusiasm for their particular subject area.

A strong answer to the third question in your Personal Statement will be particularly important.

What is the process?

We'll be automatically considering all applicants who have accepted a Conditional Offer and paid their academic deposit for the course by 30th June 2024, and will be shortlisting these applicants based on their Personal Statement and academic background.

In early July we will invite the top five shortlisted students to take part in an online video interview with either our Head of Department or Director of Education to determine the winners of our Director's Scholarships. The final winners of all scholarships will be announced by the end of July.

If you have any questions about the scholarship process, please contact the team.
