£9,200 per Year: Visa UK Scholarships 2022

At Visa we recognise the power of difference and diversity of thought. We value every individual for their unique background, experiences and view of the world.

We have created the Visa Scholarship Programme, in partnership with the Windsor Fellowship, as part of our ongoing commitment to this belief.

​The programme is designed to support students from under-represented and socially disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve their full potential.  This opportunity is open to eligible students who are applying or intending to enrol as a full-time undergraduate in any accredited university in the UK. You’ll receive a scholarship of up to £9200 per year to pay your tuition fees and an ongoing programme of support throughout your academic study.




You will also have the opportunity to connect with experienced Visa employees through our scholar coaching/ mentoring programmes.

“We will remain focused on ensuring that Visa is a diverse and inclusive environment where different perspectives are valued, and all of our employees feel comfortable coming to work every day to do their best.”
