Many students dream of studying abroad, but they often kill their dreams because of lacking financial resources. The higher the quality of education, the higher the expenses would be. However, many countries offer international scholarships and fellowships for talented aspirants.
The United Kingdom is one of the perfect examples to consistently maintain the top in the list of the world’s best education destinations among international students, especially for Indians. If we stick to the first statement, pursuing higher studies at a good college or top university becomes expensive.
However, several UK scholarships cover a student’s overall expenses, from university tuition fees to living allowance if s/he has impressive academic achievements.
Here’s a list of major scholarships with financial assistance offered by the UK government for international students who wish to study in the United Kingdom.
Commonwealth Scholarships
Commonwealth Scholarships are offered to talented individuals with the potential to make a positive impact on the global stage. Still, they cannot afford to study in the UK without financial support. This scholarship provides opportunities for around 800 students from low and middle-income Commonwealth countries to opt for postgraduation degrees from UK universities each year. In addition to it, the British government also offers Commonwealth PhD Scholarships and Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships.
