Scholarships
Where the funding is and how to get it
Finding scholarships
What scholarships can international students get?
Automatic university merit awards (£2,000 to £10,000 a year in the UK; 10 to 50 percent in Australia), government schemes (Chevening, Commonwealth, GREAT, DAAD, Fulbright, Stipendium Hungaricum), and country- or subject-specific awards. See our scholarship guide.
Are full scholarships realistic?
For a small number of exceptional applicants with strong grades and leadership or work experience, yes. Most students should plan on partial awards plus a loan and part-time work.
When should I apply for scholarships?
As early as the university accepts applications for your intake, usually from October for the following September. Many awards run out by spring.
Do scholarships reduce the funds I show for the visa?
Yes. A scholarship letter from the university or a government body reduces the amount you must evidence, sometimes to zero.
Specific schemes
What is Chevening?
The UK government's fully funded one-year master's scholarship for future leaders with at least two years' work experience. Applications open in August and close in November for the following September.
What is the GREAT Scholarship?
£10,000 towards a one-year UK master's at participating universities, for students from listed countries including India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Ghana and Kenya.
Does Oasis offer scholarships?
We do not fund scholarships ourselves. We know which universities pay the most for which grades and we apply for every award you qualify for.
