Alumni Fee Scholarship

Eligibility

• As long as you hold a Bachelor's or higher degree from Durham University and apply for a course that begins within the 2026-27, 2027-28, or 2028-29 academic year, you are automatically eligible for this Scholarship - you do not need to apply separately.
• Those holding CHE/DHE or postgraduate/CPD credits only will, unfortunately, not be eligible to receive the Scholarship.
• You must be self-funding (or majority self-funding) in order to receive this scholarship.  The value of the contribution to your fees must exceed the value of this proposed scholarship.  For example: if your fee is £10,000 and you have a 10% Alumni Fee Discount you must intend to make a personal contribution of £1,001 in order to receive the scholarship, excluding any other third-party support of fee sponsorship.  Any repayable loans used towards fees would count as self-funding.
• Those who have outstanding financial debt to the University will not be eligible until the debt has been cleared.
• If another scholarship specifically excludes stacking (combining) that scholarship with the Alumni Discount, then the Alumni Discount would not apply.
