by Last verified: 17 October 2026. We checked these Edge Hill University scholarships against Edge Hill’s official international pages.
Edge Hill University gives international students an automatic £3,000 (three thousand pounds) first-year fee reduction through its Global Vice-Chancellor’s Award. In the last round, it also offered GREAT Scholarships of £10,000 (ten thousand pounds) for Nigeria, Ghana and Turkey. Edge Hill’s pages still show the 2026/27 round, so 2027/28 details aren’t out yet.
Edge Hill University scholarships at a glance
| Award | Value | Who |
|---|---|---|
| Global Vice-Chancellor’s Award | £3,000 off first-year fees | International-fee students, full-time, Ormskirk campus |
| GREAT Scholarships (2026 round) | £10,000, one each | Passport holders and residents of Nigeria, Ghana and Turkey |
The Global Vice-Chancellor’s Award
It covers full-time undergraduate, postgraduate taught and postgraduate research students at the Ormskirk campus, and it appears on your offer letter with no deadline. The LLM Legal Practice (SQE) and sponsored students are excluded. However, the page is unclear on whether you can add the £1,000 Alumni Loyalty Scholarship, so ask Edge Hill.
Edge Hill University scholarships: the GREAT award
For example, in the 2026 round, applicants needed a 2:1 or higher, self-funding and a place on a one-year full-time taught Masters. You applied by form after getting an offer. The deadline was 30 April 2026, with results by 1 June 2026.
Worked example
Ngozi from Enugu starts a one-year Masters at Edge Hill. She gets £3,000 off automatically. If Nigeria is on the next GREAT list and she wins, she could receive £10,000 instead, as Edge Hill generally applies one scholarship at a time. See our UK student visa requirements guide.
Edge Hill fees after the awards
Edge Hill’s 2026/27 international fees, and what the automatic £3,000 award does to your first year:
| Level | Yearly fee | First year after £3,000 award |
|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate | £14,500 | £11,500 |
| Postgraduate taught | £15,000 | £12,000 |
The award applies to your first year only, so budget the full fee for later years of an undergraduate degree.
