Can I get a scholarship as an international student?
Many institutions offer scholarships or bursaries for eligible international students. Options may be merit-based, need-based, destination-specific, athletic or linked to a particular programme.
When should I start looking for scholarships?
Start as early as possible, ideally while you are creating your course and university shortlist. This gives you time to meet scholarship deadlines and prepare any required documents.
Do scholarships cover every cost?
Each award is different. Some contribute to tuition fees while others may support part of your study costs. Check the award terms and make a full study budget.
