Newcastle Business School Scholarship
Northumbria University is delighted to launch the Newcastle Business School Scholarship for a talented undergraduate student starting their journey with Northumbria in September 2020. This scholarship is made possible through the support of a Business School alumnus, who hopes that the recipient will value their experience at Northumbria as much as they did.
