University of Derby Scholarships for International Students in Nigeria

The Derby University scholarship is open to all Nigerian students, which is fantastic news. As a Nigerian student, you may be eligible for one of the scholarships and discounts, which can be combined to offer a fee reduction during your first year of study. Some scholarships can be applied for once you have received an offer from them, while others will be applied automatically if you are eligible.

You must be pursuing a full-time degree. Postgraduate research, online studies, foundation, and pre-sessional language programs do not qualify for a discount or scholarship.
