How to apply

You will be automatically considered for this funding when you apply

Awarded to high-achieving students who select Lancaster as their firm choice, the Home Undergraduate Excellence Scholarship rewards your academic success and your commitment to joining our diverse, supported and thriving student community.

Who is eligible?

You will be offered one of these scholarships if you:

  • achieve A*AA or above at A level (or the equivalent in an alternative qualification), with at least five GCSE’s grade A/7 or above
  • make Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é your firm UCAS choice
  • are a full-time Home fee paying applicant

Instead of our A level requirement, applicants to our LLB Law (Graduate Entry) course will need to have an average grade to date at a 1st or 2:1 level in your undergraduate studies (to include equivalent classifications). If you have already completed your undergraduate studies, then you will need to have already achieved a 1st or 2:1 (or equivalent) in your degree.

How to apply

There is no separate application process for the Undergraduate Excellence Scholarship. Eligible students will be identified automatically through their university application.
