Successful Global Impact Scholarship recipients will receive 100% of their course fees.
The University’s Creating Better Futures 2030 strategy values encouraging, inspiring, and equipping people to achieve amazing things, which the new financing scheme reflects.
The program seeks talented graduates who can lead and sustain community transformation.
Lily Rumsey, Director of Global Engagement at Loughborough University, said: “International students help us provide a vibrant and diverse experience. The Global Impact Scholarships remove financial barriers for bright students from least developed countries to study at Loughborough.
“By funding most, if not all, of their tuition fees, successful students will be able to fully immerse themselves in the Loughborough experience without financial pressures.”
Loughborough University has over 900 Indian students in 2023, a record high. India is their second-biggest international group and greatest source of postgraduate students.
Students starting in September 2024 can apply for the program. April 30, 2024, is the deadline.
Students having an offer to study on an appropriate postgraduate programme at Loughborough University or Loughborough University London can apply.
