Early Payment Discount

The discount is awarded as a £2,000 fee waiver for eligible students in the first year of their studies.

Eligibility criteria

In order to be eligible applicants must:

• Be an overseas fee-paying student for a full-time masters course starting in September 2025 or February 2026*.

• Be self-funded (you must be paying for your studies independently rather than being sponsored. Students in receipt of an educational loan are eligible for this award).

• Not be in receipt of another scholarship from the University, such as the International Excellence Award or the Future Leaders scholarship (students can accept one University-managed scholarship of the highest value).

This scholarship is not open to students from the Surrey International Study Centre (SISC).

Students who are eligible for the alumni discount can have this scholarship in addition to the alumni discount (can combine the alumni discount and early payment discount).

*Excludes part-time and distance-learning courses.
