Summer School and Short Programme Funding

Summer School Scholarship Fund 24/25

The Summer School Scholarship Fund is available to students who have not studied abroad previously, or who will not study abroad as part of their degree at Exeter. We have identified a list of Summer schools to consider, offered by some of the world's top universities, but eligibility is not confined to students participating in these summer schools. 

How much? 

The amount of the grant will be established based on your placement location and duration. We will be in contact with you regarding this once we have reviewed your application.

Please note that the funding available is limited and cannot be guaranteed. Those in receipt of an award will be required to write a short report for the Outbound team upon their return. If the report is not returned to the Study Abroad team, you will be required to return your scholarship in full. 

Criteria 

  • Evidence that the summer school is likely to enhance your university experience 
  • Your participation is supported by your course leader/personal tutor 
  • You are of good academic standing with a grade average of 2:2 or above 
  • You have not previously been on a Study Abroad experience. Please note, if you degree programme is going to include a study/work abroad mobility, you will not be able to receive funding for it if you have already been funded by a Summer School/Short programme grant. 

The Global Opportunities team will check all applications for eligibility. 

To apply for the scholarship you must hold an offer of a place on your chosen overseas summer school. If you wish to submit an application you can do so here.
