UH Family Scholarship
In recognition of the importance of our international alumni community to the University, we have introduced a Family Scholarship for the children of our overseas graduates, worth 20% of the first year's tuition fee for an undergraduate or postgraduate taught degree programme (excluding PhD).
The University places a high value on our relationship with our alumni, who play a vital role as ambassadors for the University as they move on in their careers in their home country or elsewhere.
Our global community of over 160,000 alumni operates across a growing network of active alumni associations in a range of countries, including, amongst others, Malaysia, India, China and Greece.
To be eligible for the Family Scholarship, students must have met the University's academic and English Language entry requirements and have been successful in gaining an unconditional offer of a place.
