Options for U.S. students seeking scholarships to study in the UK?

I'm considering studying in the UK for college but I'm worried about how to fund it. Are there scholarships specifically available for U.S. students who want to study in the UK? Any advice on where to start would be great!

While studying in the UK as an international student can be costly, there are indeed scholarships available to U.S. students. Here are several scholarships and funds you might want to look into:

1. Marshall Scholarships: This is a prestigious scholarship that funds American students to study for a graduate degree in the UK. This scholarship covers university fees, cost of living expenses, an annual book grant, thesis grant, research and daily travel grants, and fares to and from the United States.

2. US-UK Fulbright Commission: The Fulbright program provides funds for postgraduate study, research, and teaching for US citizens in the UK. Fulbright also offers an orientation program and other support throughout the study period.

3. The Rhodes Scholarship: One of the oldest international fellowship awards available to American students, the Rhodes Scholarship covers all expenses for two or three years of study at the University of Oxford in England. It is important to note that this is for postgraduate study.

4. The Sutton Trust US Programme: Offers A-level students a chance to attend summer school at an American university and get support with the US university admission process. It also offers some financial aid for undergraduate degrees.

5. The Aga Khan Foundation's International Scholarship Programme: Provides a limited number of scholarships each year for postgraduate studies to outstanding students from select developing countries who have no other means of financing their studies. Scholarships are awarded on a 50% grant : 50% loan basis.

Remember to check individual universities in the UK, as many have scholarships for international students. Additionally, it's a good idea to look at external scholarship databases, such as Appily (formerly Cappex), for international scholarships.

Start your search as early as possible and always check on the eligibility requirements and application deadlines to maximize your chances of securing a scholarship. Good luck!
