Evidence: Official University of Portsmouth application form page: "For January 2027 entry, eligible applicants will be considered for the Chancellor's Global Academic Merit Scholarship. This scholarship will take the form of a £5,000 fee reduction that will apply to your first year of study." "This scholarship is merit based and applicants will need to have applied and accepted their academic offer by your given deadline." "To be considered, you will need to complete the scholarship application form as part of your application before 2 November 2026." The University's international deadlines page lists Bangladesh in the applicant group for January 2027 entry — new applications 19 October 2026, deposit 2 November 2026 — so Bangladeshi applicants need an existing offer to use this scholarship.
