The University of Belize Scholarship program is awarded to students each year who are undergoing a Bachelor's Degree in one of the areas of national priority. This national priority list is available annually from the Ministry of Education upon request. This is an apt scholarship for students who are interested in attending, or who have decided to attend, the University of Belize for their higher education.
This type of scholarship program is advertised once each year and covers one of two distinct categories. Students can qualify for a full scholarship where the Belize government pays their entire tuition, as well as personal expenses.In the second category, the Belize government covers 80 percent of the student's tuition. This scholarship is generally promoted each year around May and June. For a student to qualify for this award, he must be already attending the University of West Indies, University of Technology or the University of Guyana.
The Common Weath Fellowship Scholarship program is one of the most coveted scholarships in Belize because it is only awarded to one student each year so she may attend her post graduate studies in the United Kingdom. Scholarship candidates must be accepted to an university in the United Kingdom prior to filing the scholarship application. Additionally, the student must study in a degree program that is on the Belize national priority list to qualify.
