The School is committed to expanding educational opportunities by offering generous scholarships. These scholarships significantly reduce fees, promoting access to our services and fostering a diverse, inclusive environment. By also partnering with external organisations and maintaining fair management practices, we ensure equitable support and clear application guidelines for all applicants.
This Policy has been developed in line with the applicable laws, regulations, regulatory advice, and sector best practices, including the following:
The School’s scholarships webpage provides:
Applicants must meet the eligibility criteria. They may apply for more than one scholarship but can hold only one at a time. If awarded multiple scholarships, they must choose one. The School reserves the right to modify or remove scholarships and will update its Scholarship page at https://edit.sutton.institute/scholarships accordingly.
Clear and detailed scholarship information helps applicants understand the criteria, process, and deadlines, ensuring transparency and fairness. Limiting the number of scholarships per student promotes equitable support distribution, while updates to the webpage ensure accuracy.
Scholarships are competitive and limited to the number specified in the scholarship overview. All applicants will be assessed fairly by the Scholarship Panel against the award criteria. The Panel's decision is final.
Setting a limit on scholarships ensures fairness and manages resources effectively. Assessing all applicants against the same criteria guarantees impartiality, while making the Panel's decision final upholds the integrity of the process.
All scholarship applications are sent to the Admissions Team. The Admissions Team processes and forwards these applications to the Scholarship Panel. Unless specified otherwise, the panel will include:
The panel will review each application based on the criteria and make decisions on scholarship awards once per semester, before fees are due. Successful applicants will be notified of their award and the associated terms and conditions.
Centralising applications through the Admissions Team and using a diverse panel ensures a fair and comprehensive review process. The panel’s composition and review schedule help maintain transparency and adherence to scholarship criteria, while timely notifications keep applicants informed.
Applicants who are ineligible for the School’s scholarships may apply for external opportunities, including:
A list of external scholarships is available at https://edit.sutton.institute/scholarships
Providing information on external scholarships offers additional avenues for support and ensures that applicants have access to various funding opportunities beyond those offered by the School.
Students receiving scholarships must sign an agreement outlining the terms and conditions. Failure to meet these terms may result in the scholarship being withdrawn and students becoming liable for payments, including tuition fees. Students must thoroughly read and understand these terms before registering.
Ensuring students are aware of and agree to the scholarship terms helps prevent misunderstandings and potential financial liabilities. For general questions about scholarships, students should contact the Admissions Team.
The following metrics will be measured and regularly reviewed as performance indicators for the School to ensure the effectiveness of this policy and associated operations.
