I'm an international student hoping to study at King's College London. Does KCL offer scholarships specifically for international students, and how does one apply for them? Any information on deadlines and criteria would be helpful.
King's College London does indeed offer a scholarship for international students for undergraduates:
Santander Scholarships: These are available to international student applicants from specific countries or regions, including Brazil, China, and parts of the Americas. The scholarships range in their funding amount.
The scholarship eligibility is based on a combination of academic excellence, financial need, and what the student expects to gain from their degree at King's College.
To apply for the scholarship, you first need to apply for and hold an offer from KCL for the program you're interested in. Scholarship applications are typically separate from course applications and often require supplementary materials such as personal statements or references.
The deadlines and criteria for each of these scholarships vary, hence it's vital to check the specific details for the scholarship you’re interested in on the King's College London website. Typically, deadlines fall between January to April for the ensuing academic year, so it's important to start planning early.
Remember, competition for these scholarships can be fierce, so be sure to submit the best application you can. Alongside this, continue searching for other financial aid options, such as other scholarships, loans, or work-study agreements.
