How to apply

To be considered for the Chancellor's International Business Scholarship, you need to have received and accepted an offer of a place on an eligible Masters at Sussex.  There is guidance about how to apply for a Masters on our website.

To apply for the scholarship, you are required to provide a statement of academic interests.  You should include information about:

• your drive and ambitions (and how your course will help you achieve your ambitions)
• your potential for positive impact when you return to your home country
• any relevant work experience, skills or extra-curricular activity that relate to your ambitions and/or chosen course

To be considered, you will need to demonstrate excellent grades in your most recent qualification (i.e. a first class degree if you are studying in the UK). You do not need to have completed your qualification, however, as we can make conditional scholarship offers.
