Aston Excellence Scholarship - 2013 entry


If you achieve AAB or above in your A Levels (or equivalent), you are eligible for the Aston Excellence Scholarship worth £4,000 over a typical Aston University degree. 

Aston University attracts high achieving students. In 2011 over 35% of our new students had achieved AAB or above at A Level (or equivalent). The Aston Excellence Scholarship rewards this achievement.  

The Aston Excellence Scholarship for 2013 entry is worth £4,000 in total. It gives you a full £1,000 tuition fee discount on your placement year, and a £1,000 scholarship in your first, second and final year which you can take as: 

  • a discount on Aston University accommodation fees, OR
  • a discount on tuition fees, OR
  • a cash bursary 

You are eligible for an Aston Excellence Scholarship if you have AAB or higher in your A levels or equivalent qualifications. The grades refer to your highest qualifications. The Aston Excellence Scholarship is not based on your household income. 

If you are eligible for the Excellence Scholarship and also qualify for one of our household income based scholarships, you will receive both, although the £1,000 placement year tuition fee waiver does not count twice.

 

  First year     Second year  Placement year Final year   Total           
 Excellence Scholarship £1,000 £1,000 £1,000  £1,000 £4,000 

If you are studying Pharmacy, which has a pre-registration year after graduation rather than a placement year, you will receive a £1,000 tuition fee discount in your third year.


How do I apply?

You do not need to apply for an Aston Excellence Scholarship. The University will automatically assess your eligibility using information on your A Level (or equivalent) results provided by UCAS. 

The number of Aston Excellence Scholarships we will award is not limited. If you achieve the A levels or equivalent qualifications, listed (validated by via examination boards and at enrolment) you will be entitled to the scholarship.

When will I know I've got the scholarship?

We will write to you as soon as we know your grades and your place has been confirmed.
