1. What do I need to do to apply for a scholarship?
Before you may apply for any of London Met's scholarships, you must have applied to study on a course here and be in receipt of an unconditional offer letter (for all new students).
2. What is an unconditional offer?
An unconditional offer is an offer when you have applied to study a course from the university and have been accepted and offered a place to study with no conditions attached.
3. What is a conditional offer letter?
A conditional offer is one with a condition (or more) attached.
An example of this could be that you need to provide evidence of a qualification or of your English (e.g. IELTS) or Maths abilities, as requested in your offer letter.
4. How do I apply for a scholarship?
There are two ways in which you may apply:
- Via the Word application form which you download, print, complete and return by post to the scholarships office.
- Via the online electronic method at: https://www.londonmet.ac.uk/secure/application/$application.cfm
- Please read the instructions and guidelines carefully before you apply.
5. I applied for a scholarship but haven't heard if I got one?
- We receive thousands of applications each year and are unable to reply to all.
- If you are awarded a scholarship, you will be contacted by email or by telephone within three weeks of the closing date
- Then a formal letter will be sent to you to confirm all the details in writing.
- We will also publish the results of those awarded a scholarship on our website under the heading 'Recently awarded scholarships'
- Visit this website page if you want to see the results printed.
6. How do I know if you got my scholarship application form?
If you apply online, you will automatically receive a confirmation email from London Met with a copy of your scholarship application form attached, for your records.
7. What if I don't apply online?
Our office deals with all recruitment services, not just scholarships, so if you apply in the traditional manner (via post), you will only get a confirmation of receipt if you've requested this.
8. How may I request confirmation of receipt?
If you do require a confirmation of receipt of your scholarship application form, you may email scholarships@londonmet.ac.uk and kindly request this.
NB: Our office deals with student recruitment activities and we are very busy. Your query will be answered normally within 3 working days, but please be patient especially in peak periods. Thank you.
9. How many scholarships are awarded each year?
Around 150 scholarships are awarded each year, including Merit scholarships.
10. When are scholarships awarded?
The scholarship panel awards academic scholarships twice a year. In June for September entry and in November for February entry.
11. When are Merit scholarships awarded?
- Merit scholarships are normally awarded by October for continuing, undergraduate, international-fee paying students achieving 70% or higher average.
- The results are published during the month of October and are visible on the website under 'Merit Scholarships'.
12. If I continue to postgraduate studies may I still get a Merit scholarship?
No. Merit scholarships are unfortunately not for postgraduate students.
However, if you continue on to postgraduate studies as a London Met student, you will be eligible for a valuable and worthwhile 'continuing London Met student discount'.
13. Does London Met welcome Chevening Scholars applications?
Yes click here for more information
14. I would like to continue my studies do you have any Research degree funding available?
- London Met's Graduate School research office are responsible for administering the University's applications for research
- Please go to our Graduate School's webpage to find out about PhD and Reseach degree funding.
15. What if my unconditional offer letter is linked to a pre-sessional course? Will London Met pay?
If you've been fortunate enough to have been awarded a scholarship, please note that London Met will NOT pay for any pre-sessional courses that may be linked or attached to your course offer and you will be responsible for paying this element.
For example, you may be awarded a scholarship to study MSc Business Economics and Finance, on the understanding that you first do the pre-sessional English course. In this instance, you will need to pay for the pre-sessional course, and London Met would pay for the Masters (or MSc course) as this is what your scholarship was awarded for, not the pre-sessional course.
Please note that Short courses and English language courses, Foundation Programmes, HND's and pre-Masters degrees are not covered by any of London Metropolitan University's Scholarships.
16. Can I bring my family with me?
Please note that London Met can not be responsible for family members (spouse, children, parents, etc.) and those students who have been awarded a scholarship are well advised not to bring family members with them, unless they are fully willing and able to provide the care and financial support required by these individuals.
If you have any further questions, please READ the information on the website, then, if you still can't find the answer you may email: scholarships@londonmet.ac.uk with your enquiry and you will receive an answer as soon as possible.
