Scholarships for Studying in the UK
Students looking to study abroad in the United Kingdom should be aware that there are many scholarship opportunities available. There are two broad categories of UK scholarships for international students: Governmental and Non-governmental scholarships.
The UK government runs two major scholarship schemes:
- Chevening Scholarship – Funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, awarded to outstanding individuals with leadership potential
- Commonwealth Scholarship – Funded by the UK government for students from Commonwealth countries to pursue postgraduate study
However, students can only apply for these scholarships if they already hold a valid student visa. Our team of experts at Shiv Overseas will help you plan your scholarship applications alongside your visa process so you don't miss any deadlines. We recommend starting the process 8–12 months before your preferred intake begins.
