Funding for postgraduate studies at Keele University for North American students
For students commencing their studies at Keele in 2011, the following bursaries and scholarships are available:
Tuition Fee Bursaries
All American and Canadian students will be eligible for a 10% bursary towards the overseas rate of tuition for the course for which they are applying. In addition, all students graduating from one of our 30 North American partners (see list below) will be eligible for a further 15% bursary. Finally, if a previous exchange student from one of the partner universities decides to come back to Keele for graduate study, they will be eligible for a 50% bursary. This means that for 2011/12 tuition could be approx. £5000 - £5,900 (approx. US$ 8,100 - $9,600/Can$ 7,850 - $9250) for a returning exchange student.
NAFKU Scholarship
In addition, each year American and Canadian students will be able to compete for the NAFKU scholarship (North American Foundation Keele University). This will provide US$4,000 (approximately £2,500) towards living costs at Keele. Final Selection will be by members of the NAFKU Board. All North American students who are offered a place at Keele will automatically be sent an application form.
Please read the following profiles of our 2011 NAFKU Scholars:
