Vice Chancellor’s Excellence Scholarships 2010/11-UK
Posted by sakshi on January 23, 2010
The University of Exeter offers The Vice-Chancellor’s Excellence Scholarships for the year 2010/11 to students in any subject area in UK
At the University of Exeter we believe that a University education should be about more than just an academic qualification. These prestigious awards are designed for students in any subject area who combine high levels of academic achievement with excellence in the kind of extra-curricular activities we believe make an important contribution to the life of the University.
Who may Apply:
These are available from October 2010 for students applying for any subject, who, in addition to academic excellence – the achievement or prediction of at least three A grades at A level (excluding General Studies) or equivalent accredited examinations – demonstrate achievement and potential in, and continued commitment to, at least one of the following areas:
- volunteering
- leadership
- entrepreneurship
- exceptional talent in music, the arts or sporting activities/participation of benefit to the community which are outside their field of study (i.e. a Drama student would not be eligible for a performing arts-based award or an Exercise and Sport Sciences student for a sports-based award)
Scholarship Details:
Vice-Chancellor’s Excellence Scholarships are renewed annually on the basis of (a) evidence (e.g. a report and references) of continued contribution and achievement in the relevant areas; and (b) continued excellent academic performance (the normal expectation would be performance at a level likely to lead to the award of a First Class Honours degree). There will be an expectation that nominated scholars register for the Exeter Award in their first year of study and, where appropriate, progress in due course to the Exeter Leaders Award. Enrolment and participation in these schemes will constitute part of the scholar’s profile as a positive, pro-active role-model within the student community.
How to Apply:
- Applications will be considered from all students who meet the academic requirements of the award, regardless of their choice of degree subject and who demonstrate achievement and potential in at least one of the extra-curricular fields outlined above.
- If you are deemed eligible, we will write to you with further details of how to submit your application once we have made you an offer of a place to study at Exeter. Your application should be supported by a referee who can confirm the evidence of exceptional academic and personal achievement given in your application.
- The deadline for receipt of completed applications is the 26th February 2010.
- If you do not receive e-mail notification that your submitted application has been received by the Admissions Office by the prescribed deadline above, please contact the Scholarship Administrator (details below) to verify safe receipt.
- You will be notified of the outcome of your application before you have to advise UCAS of your firm and insurance choices. The scholarships will be awarded to those candidates who choose Exeter as their First choice following the initial notification of an award nomination. If you are made a conditional offer we will confirm the award in August upon receipt of your examination results.
Application Deadline:
26th February 2010.
