Once you have received your offer to study on a full-time, postgraduate programme at Edge Hill University, you can apply for the British Council GREAT Scholarship by completing the application form.
Applications will then be considered by an awarding panel. The panel will consist of representatives from Admissions, the International Office team, and the International Student Support Officer. The panel will assess the applications based on your responses given in the scholarship application. All panel members understand that applications will have a broad range of differing skills, attributes and experiences, and shortlisted applications may be asked to attend a video interview with the selection committee.
Final award recipients and reserve candidates will be decided by the panel and be contacted no later than 30 June.
