English language
requirement:

To be considered for a Saïd Foundation scholarship candidates need to meet our English language requirement. This is an IELTS score of at least 6.0 overall with a minimum of 6.0 in each band or equivalent score in an alternative English language test. Some universities have higher English language requirements and it is your responsibility to check the eligibility of your English test results with your chosen university. The Foundation cannot do this for you or give you advice on partner universities’ English language requirements.

Please note that only English language certificates dated after 1st October 2021 will be accepted. If your certificate was issued before this date then you will be required to take another test in order to be considered for a scholarship.

If you have already taken an English language test then you should upload a copy of your test certificate to your application before you submit. If you have not taken a test prior to applying for a scholarship, you will need to register for a test and provide details of the test booking in your application prior to submitting. You should then upload a copy of your English language test certificate to the application portal when you have taken the test.

If you are selected for an interview you will be asked to provide evidence that you have met our English language requirement if you have not already done so.

About references:

References are an important part of the scholarship selection process and they will be considered when your application is assessed. Candidates are required to obtain THREE different reference letters from three different referees and to upload them to their application form prior to submitting their application. It will not be possible to accept references after an application has been submitted or after the deadline has passed.

Candidates without three different references will not be considered for a Saïd Foundation scholarship.
