Application Process

Applications for the scholarship generally open in September, along with the university applications.

You must apply for general admission to universities through UCAS, or apply for direct admission to a university of your choice.
In case you or your parents do not hold an Aviva policy, you must purchase one.
After determining eligibility, you must submit the Aviva application. The following details have to be submitted:
- Full name as per passport
- Nationality
- Country of residence
- Contact details (email, phone no., etc)
- Universities you are applying for (upto three)
Although the UCAS applications may close by January, Aviva scholarship applications remain open until June (for undergraduates) or July (for postgraduates).

During this period of time, universities evaluate the scholarship applications and notify applicants of their decision. Postgraduate applicants will be notified by the university by August.

Selection Process

Selection for the scholarship happens at the discretion of the individual university and not Aviva. Students are generally evaluated on the basis of:

Achievements
Aptitude
Academic potential
Extracurricular activities
Career

The selected student will be notified and awarded a fee waiver of 20% of their tuition amount. During their time in the UK, the students under this program will remain classified as an overseas student.
