This is a one off payment for the first year of study only. Please note that for part-time students, the scholarship will be paid on a pro rata basis. You must be a self-funded student e.g. not sponsored.

Please note that you must be transferring onto a postgraduate taught course charging postgraduate tuition fees in order to be eligible for the alumni discount and the Postgraduate Academic Excellence scholarship. Courses that are integrated Masters Courses that continue to charge undergraduate tuition fees and are eligible to receive undergraduate student finance will not qualify to receive the alumni discount or the Postgraduate Academic Excellence scholarship. Students enrolled on to a full-time or part-time postgraduate taught course at Coventry University, Coventry University London campus and Coventry University Online who have achieved a first class undergraduate degree will be considered for a scholarship. Please note that if you have already obtained a postgraduate taught qualification we cannot consider you for this scholarship as it is available to first time postgraduate students only. Scholarships are allocated on the basis of academic merit. First-Class Honours (70% and above): a first class degree, usually referred to as a ‘first' or 1st, is the highest honours degree conferred by UK universities.
