How can I find scholarships for disabled students studying overseas in the UK?

I'm a high school junior and interested in studying abroad in the UK. I'm also a disabled student and want to know about any scholarships available to support my studies overseas. Any guidance would be appreciated!

There are several scholarships and grants specifically aimed at disabled students and/or students intending to study abroad, which can surely help in easing the financial load.

One notable option is the Fulbright Awards, which offer scholarships for U.S. students studying at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels across a range of fields. As part of their commitment to inclusivity, they have additional funding to support disabled students, with some scholarships specifically dedicated to disabled students.

Another scholarship to consider is the Snowdon Trust scholarships. This UK based organization provides grants to physically disabled individuals who wish to study in the UK. While the exact amount varies, it can go as high as £3,000.

In addition, you might want to look at scholarships offered by the university or colleges in the UK where you are intending to study. Many universities have scholarship programmes for international students studying overseas, and some even have specific grants or scholarships for disabled students.

Beyond these, you should be sure to reach out to your high school's guidance office, as they might also have resources available. Additionally, platforms like Appily can help you find scholarships that you might be eligible to apply for.

When applying for these scholarships, being detailed about how your disability impacts your studies, what you've done to overcome these challenges, and how studying overseas supports your future career goals might enhance your application strength.

Keep in mind that every scholarship has its own deadline and requirements, so start researching and applying early to keep your options open. Good luck!
