Scholarships and financial support

 

Scholarships, grants, bursaries, fellowships, financial awards, loans… there are many financial support options for international students who wish to study on a UK course. Demand for scholarships is always greater than supply; to maximise your chances, apply as early as you can.

Where can I find UK scholarships and bursaries?

On this website, you can search through thousands of scholarships at UK schools, colleges and universities – just click here and select your subject. This lists many, but not all, UK scholarships – it is an excellent place to start, but we recommend looking at other sources too.

In addition, the British Council manages or administers aspects of a number of scholarship and funding schemes. These include:

 

The EURIAS Fellowship Programme 2017/2018 Call for Applications is now open.


The European Institutes for Advanced Study (EURIAS) Fellowship Programme is an international researcher mobility programme offering 10-month residencies in one of the 18 participating Institutes: Aahrus, Amsterdam, Berlin, Bologna, Budapest, Cambridge, Delmenhorst, Edinburgh, Freiburg, Helsinki, Jerusalem, Lyon, Madrid, Marseille, Paris, Uppsala, Vienna, Zürich. The Institutes for Advanced Study support the focused, self-directed work of outstanding researchers. The fellows benefit from the finest intellectual and research conditions and from the stimulating environment of a multi-disciplinary and international community of first-rate scholars.

EURIAS Fellowships are mainly offered in the fields of the humanities and social sciences but may also be granted to scholars in life and exact sciences, provided that their proposed research project does not require laboratory facilities and that it interfaces with humanities and social sciences. The diversity of the 18 participating IAS offers a wide range of possible research contexts in Europe for worldwide scholars. Applicants may select up to three IAS outside their country of nationality or residence as possible host institutions.


For the 2017-2018 academic year EURIAS offers 48 fellowships (25 junior and 23 senior positions). 

Application Deadline June 8th, 2016, 12 pm (noon) GMT.
