Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are the scholarships available to study in other universities
No, the Sussex Graduate Scholarship can only be held at the University of Sussex.
2. If I am a current Sussex student am I eligible?
Yes, this is for you if you are a final year undergraduate at the University of Sussex. But, you must be intending on going straight on to study an eligible full-time Masters course at Sussex immediately on completing your undergraduate studies in 2013. If you wish to take up this award, you are not permitted to defer.
3. I am an overseas student for fee purposes am I eligible to apply?
You are eligible if you are a current Sussex undergraduate student and do not intend to defer between completion of your undergraduate studies and your Masters. It does not matter if you are from the UK, EU or outside the EU.
4. If I am offered a scholarship but defer my place at Sussex, can the scholarship be carried over to the next year?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to carry over the scholarship to another year. However, if you intend to defer and are from the UK/EU and hold a first class degree from a UK University and meet our entrance requirements you may be eligible for the Chancellors Masters Scholarship.
