Other opportunities at this partner
British Universities Transnational Exchange Association (BUTEX)
Each year BUTEX awards a number of £500 scholarships to students studying abroad for a single semester or full academic year. The University of East Anglia is a BUTEX member so incoming study abroad students applying to Leeds can submit a scholarship application.
BUTEX scholarships are awarded based on a calendar year and not an academic year. This means that students who are completing a full year of exchange that takes place across two calendar years will have two opportunities to apply, but each student can only win a BUTEX scholarship once.
