To draw outstanding candidates to Newcastle University, the South Asia Excellence Scholarship was established. This merit-based accolade recognizes students who have excelled in the classroom and inspires them to continue pushing themselves to become the greatest version of themselves. A scholarship will be given to students who are admitted into a qualified, non-quota program and start their studies at the University of Newcastle right away.
Benefits:
