Scholarships and financial assistance
You should find out from your home country’s government or other organizations if there are any scholarships available for studying abroad. Additionally, you can look for scholarships by browsing the Education UK database.
The British Council also offers financial assistance information and has offices worldwide.
Scholarships typically don’t meet all of your financial needs, so you’ll probably need to look into several funding options, such as grants, loans, personal or family savings, and scholarships.
The majority of scholarships, including those granted by the university, only provide a small amount of funding support, typically in the form of a fee reduction. The majority of scholarships are given out based on academic merit, and there is strong competition from deserving applicants. In order to meet the scholarship application deadlines, you must also plan ahead. Please be aware that until you receive an offer of admission, you are not eligible to apply for university scholarships.
