ICETEX Scholarships
As part of our Memorandum of Understanding with ICETEX, we are proud to co-ordinate ICETEX Scholarships for students from Colombia wishing to study on a range of postgraduate Master’s Degree programmes at the University of Salford. For students applying to begin studying in September 2025, the following ICETEX Scholarships are available:
1 x fully-funded scholarship (tuition fee only).
10 x part-funded scholarships worth £5,000 each.
Scholarship recipients must have funds available for any remaining tuition fee and living costs associated with studying at the University of Salford in the UK. You can browse the list of applicable Salford programmes.
Scholarship details
All ICETEX Scholarships at Salford are awarded as reductions on tuition fees. Please note that no ICETEX Scholarships include financial awards for accommodation and/or other living costs, so students must be able to cover these expenses themselves.
Currently, the UK Government requires international students applying for a visa to study here to be able to demonstrate that they have at least £10,224 to cover their living costs whilst studying at any university outside London for one academic year. You will be required to show this with a bank statement confirming that these funds have been in your account for at least 28 days when you apply for your UK student visa.
Applicants must be of Colombian nationality.
