I'm really into the arts and considering the University of Arts London. I need to find out about scholarships for international students. Does anyone have information on financial aid or application processes for these scholarships?
The University of Arts London (UAL) offers a variety of scholarships for international students including undergraduate, postgraduate, and research degree scholarships.
Each scholarship has its own eligibility criteria and application process, so you'll want to research each scholarship you're interested in applying to. For instance, some scholarships will require you to write an essay or submit a portfolio while others are solely need-based. Additionally, certain scholarships might require you to fill out the a separate application in addition to your standard degree application.
One of the more popular scholarships for international students is the UAL International Postgraduate Scholarships. This scholarship is available to students from any country who are pursuing a postgraduate degree in the arts. The scholarship covers the cost of tuition fees, living costs, and includes a contribution towards academic fees.
The Vice-Chancellor's Postgraduate International Scholarships is another significant scholarship, where 13 awards are given for full fees coverage in any postgraduate course.
UAL also offers a multitude of course-specific scholarships which you may want to look into. It's best to start applying as soon as possible because the competition for these scholarships can be quite fierce.
Starting from 2022, UAL has moved all their scholarship applications online and now requires all applicants to fill out an online application form. Additionally, for most scholarships, you will need to have a UAL student ID number so you'll need to have applied to the university before applying for scholarships.
Keep in mind that these scholarships are not the only financial aid options for international students. External scholarships and funding from your home country could also help to offset the cost of your studies.
In summary, it’s critical to thoroughly research each scholarship you're interested in to fully understand the application process, eligibility requirements, and award amount to maximize your chances of receiving funding. Good luck with your applications!
