UCL - United World Colleges - Undergraduate International Outreach Bursaries

Deadline:28/02/2015

University College London (UCL) and United World Colleges (UWC) have agreed to collaborate in a scheme to enable graduates of a UWC, who are financially unable to study in the UK, to pursue full-time undergraduate studies at UCL. With this scheme UCL supports the aims of UWC to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. Two bursaries are available annually for UWC-nominated students who have firmly accepted their UCL admissions offer. 

Applicants must:

• Be a final-year IB diploma student attending a United World College (or completed their studies in the preceding calendar year - candidates from Waterford Kamhlaba UWC only).
• Apply for admission through UCAS by January for a full-time undergraduate degree programme of study at UCL and firmly accept your UCL offer.
• Be assessed as paying overseas tuition fees; and
• Lack the financial means necessary to pursue undergraduate degree studies at UCL.

Each bursary will consist of full tuition fees and a maintenance allowance for the duration of the student’s programme of study, as well as international economy air travel to/from the UK at the beginning and end of the bursary-holder’s degree programme. The maintenance allowance will normally rise each year in line with inflation but at the absolute discretion of UCL. In addition, the bursary includes an allowance (on request and up to a specified maximum sum per bursary holder) to permit two members of the bursary-holder’s family to attend their graduation ceremony. Annual renewal of the bursary is subject to good academic progress by the student.

Application deadlines are set by the individual graduate units.

Further Information:

Ontario Graduate Scholarship:

The value of the OGS is $5,000 p​er term. Thus, awardees may receive $10,000 for two consecutive terms or $15,000 for three consecutive terms. In all instances, the awarding graduate unit will contribute to one third the cost of the total award received by the students.

Each scholarship is tenable for a minimum of one year (i.e., two consecutive or three academic terms) up to a maximum of two years (six academic terms)​. The value and duration of each OGS award will be determined by the awarding graduate unit and detailed in the offer letter.

Eligibility:

Foreign students who are studying or plan to study at the University of Toronto under a temporary resident visa (student study permit) are eligible for a set number of OGS awards.

Be registered or intend to register in an eligible program on a full time basis. An eligible program is defined as a full-time program of study of two or three terms at the University of Toronto leading to a graduate degree. A full time student is one who is in at least 60% of a full course load (40% for students with a permanent disability) or as defined by their institution.

At minimum, meet the following OGS academic requirements of an A- (80%) average:

• If in the first or second year of graduate studies at the time of application the student must have an overall average of at least A-, or the equivalent, on the most recently completed 20 one-term/semester courses, or the equivalent, completed.
  
• If in the third year of graduate studies at the time of application the student must have an overall average of at least A- or the equivalent, on all graduate courses completed.
• ​If master's or doctoral degree marks used for calculating an applicant's grade point average (GPA) are not available (for example, courses were graded on a pass-fail basis), then the university will use the most recently available undergraduate or graduate marks to calculate a student's GPA.

Applying:

Applicants must submit an OGS application to their proposed graduate unit using the U of T School of Graduate Studies centralized online OGS application. Each graduate unit will have their own internal submission deadline to which applicants must adhere.

Once completed and submitted online, the entire application will be available to the proposed graduate unit(s) for review and consideration.

Important note for prospective students: Students must submit an OGS application to each institution for which they are seeking admission. OGS awards are no longer transferrable from one university to another.

Important note for visa students: Applicants holding or will be holding a valid student visa by the graduate unit’s OGS visa application deadline (or at the graduate unit’s discretion by April 9, 2015 at the latest) are eligible to apply following the same application process and internal deadlines set by their current or proposed graduate unit. Graduates units will select and forward a limited number of applications to the School of Graduate Studies to compete in a centralized adjudication​.
