To apply for the scholarship, you will need to upload a short (1-minute) video of a pitch for your business idea.

Applicants should submit an idea for a future business that demonstrates:

Innovation - new and sufficiently different to other businesses
Viability - the business must be able to be started after you graduate
Scalability - it must be a business that can start small and grow
Made in Birmingham - the business must be founded in Birmingham or the West Midlands area
Sustainability – you will need to demonstrate how your business will have a minimal negative impact on the environment

We will only consider you for our shortlist if you hold an offer to study at Aston. Therefore, you must first apply and receive an offer for a postgraduate course before applying for this scholarship, and you must include your Aston Student ID number on the application form. Once you have received an offer to study an Aston University course, you can then log into your My Aston Portal (MAP) account, where you will find a link to the scholarship application form. Details on how to access your MAP account can be found in your offer email.

Explore our postgraduate courses and apply for your chosen course before you upload your video below. The Aston Enterprise Scholarship is open to UK, EU and International applicants on all full-time postgraduate courses.

To ensure a fair application process, if your video is longer than 1 minute, we will only consider the first 1 minute of the video.

Please upload your video to YouTube (or an alternative platform such as Bilibili if YouTube is not available in your country) and submit the link where specified in the below application.
