Application

There is no separate application form for the Global Excellence Scholarship. The University of Dundee Admissions Team will use all information on an applicant’s Course application to determine if they meet the eligibility criteria.

This verification process will happen at the initial Offer Stage.

• Where an applicant has ‘pending’ academic achievements at point of Offer, the University will not be able to confirm the scholarship until academic achievements have been submitted and verified.
• Where an applicant does not meet the criteria for this scholarship, the University may inform the applicant of other scholarships available.
