I want to apply to the University of Stirling, and I'm an international student. I'm trying to figure out what scholarships are available. Are there any specific scholarships I should look into?
The University of Stirling, like many institutions, offers a range of scholarships specifically for international students, so you're definitely on the right track. These all have varying criteria, so you'll want to make sure you check each one carefully to see if you qualify.
The International Undergraduate Scholarship is available for all fields of study and offers a £2,000 tuition fee reduction per year for the duration of undergraduate studies.
There's also the 'Santander Universities Scholarship', which provides £5,000 for a year toward tuition fees. But, it's only awarded to students from specific countries, such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, and others.
Additionally, they offer sports scholarships, if you have notable achievements or potential in sport. It provides support of up to £2,000 per year.
Make sure to visit the university's website and check under their 'scholarships and funding' section for more specific and updated information. They might have other institutional scholarships, country-specific scholarships, departmental scholarships, or other sorts of funding that apply to you.
Don't forget to also look for external scholarships as well. Some organizations offer scholarships for international students, and these can be a great addition to any institutional aid you receive.
Keep in mind that each scholarship has its own application process and deadlines. Sometimes you are automatically considered when you apply for admission, but other times you will need to submit a separate application. It's essential to stay organized and start researching and applying as early as possible. Good luck!
