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.
