The University of Leeds has introduced the International Masters Regional Scholarships for the 2025 academic session. The scholarship, offering a £6,000 sum, is a fee reduction to international students, including those from India. The initiative is designed to support talented students by easing financial burdens, according to a statement from the university.
Who is eligible for the scholarship?
The scholarship is available to students from selected countries, including India, Egypt, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Peru, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, UAE, the USA, and Vietnam. However, only nationals from these regions are eligible, having a domicile status alone does not qualify a student for the award.
To receive the scholarship, applicants must satisfy the following criteria
–Be classified as an international fee-paying student.
–Hold a conditional or unconditional offer for a taught Masters course at the University of Leeds in 2025.
–Be self-funding or partially funded.
–Be registered as a University of Leeds student by January 30, 2026.
–Accept their admission offer and, if applicable, pay a £2,000 tuition fee deposit by the deadline specified in their offer letter.
Applicants must note that the Leeds MBA program and fully online courses are excluded from this scholarship. Additionally, students applying through International Partner Agreements who qualify for multiple Leeds scholarships can accept only the highest-value award.

Scholarships to be awarded automatically, no separate application required
Unlike many competitive scholarships, the International Masters Regional Scholarship does not require a separate application. Eligible students who meet all the criteria will automatically receive the award.
Those who have already secured admission to a University of Leeds Masters program will receive a scholarship confirmation over email, while new applicants will be notified only after receiving their admission offer.
Payment Structure: How will the scholarship waive tuition?
The £6,000 scholarship will be granted as a tuition fee reduction in the second semester. Students are encouraged to opt for an installment payment plan, as the discount will be applied to the second tuition fee instalment due in February 2026.
Candidates can combine scholarships with other external funding options
The International Masters Regional Scholarship can be combined with other School or Faculty scholarships or external funding, provided that the total amount does not exceed 100% of the tuition fees. However, students should verify whether other awarded scholarships permit such combinations.
