I've been thinking about studying in London and I'm on the lookout for scholarships for international students. Does anyone have advice on where to look or specific scholarships I should consider?
Sure thing, starting the search for scholarships can feel a bit overwhelming, but there are resources available to help streamline the process. To start, you'll want a two-pronged approach: Check for scholarships offered by the specific university you're interested in and also scour larger databases for opportunities exclusive to international students.
Many universities in London offer scholarships specifically for international students. For example, University College London has several scholarships for international undergraduates, and King's College London offers international scholarships as well. So review the financial aid sections of the universities' websites you're thinking of applying to.
Next, you'll want to look into databases and organizations that provide scholarships for international students headed to the UK. Websites like International-Scholarships.com and UKCouncil have databases of scholarships available to international students. British Council’s global scholarship platform also offers scholarship opportunities.
Don't forget that some scholarships might be country or field-specific. For example, the Aga Khan Foundation provides scholarships to students from certain developing countries, while the Royal Society Grants are for students in the field of science.
Just remember, some scholarships may require separate applications and essays, so be sure to keep organized and adhere to all deadlines. Good luck with your search!
