Top UK Scholarship Programs for International Students in the UK

Have you ever wanted to study in the UK and something is quietly holding you down? As a UK international student, you are likely to benefit three or more things when you study in the UK and namely; scholarships, world-class qualifications, career development and a multicultural experience. You could easily fund your studies in the UK with help from grants, scholarships, financial awards, bursaries and fellowships just to name a few.

International students studying in any UK university will tell you, studying abroad especially in the west does not come cheap. Even though the UK’s educational qualifications are highly respected in all industries the world over, there are that many universities you will probably need the assistance of a british council certified international student agent and administrator. The UK is home to some of the oldest universities and institutions of higher learning with more than 150 institutions. The truth is that some of these institutions do have internal scholarship systems for students already enrolled with them and those interested in joining them.

There are no lies to be told. At a time when the UK economy’s in trouble, you will definitely need a sizeable bank account with rocks and not stones if you were to reach your coveted educational goal. With air tickets and the standard of living prices going up, consider the costs of your medical surcharge, insurance, travel in the UK, visa and tuition by institution to arrive at approximately how much you will need to study in the UK. Are we saying the UK is only for the rich? Absolutely not, there are institutions and charitable organisations out there whose interest is in those from developing countries who cannot afford to study in the UK.

So, whether your plan is to study in 2020 or 2021, I can assure you that there are opportunities for everyone. Irrespective of whether you can afford all or part of the tuition and living costs, there is help out there for you. Do just give up on your UK study dream. There are many ways and opportunities to get help with funding for international students, be it part or whole. Research is the best approach because it will lead you to where you can get funding or part funding for your UK studies. Not every student has the opportunity to fund their education without a bit of external help and that is a gap filled by scholarships.

However, student support is not considered “public funds” as defined under UK immigration rules. Student support can be applied by any international student without fear circumventing the law if you have the right of abode.

Postgraduate studies is the most highly funded level of study. You can get fully funded postgraduate studentship from lots of universities in the UK. There are specialist websites for postgraduate funding like Prospect and Postgraduate studentship.

EU students pay the same tuition fees as UK students.
