Government funded scholarships

UK government-funded scholarships allow thousands of talented Indian students from underserved backgrounds to fulfil their dreams of living and studying in the UK. At the undergraduate level, the Maintenance Grant provides financial assistance to students from low-income households while the Disabled Students’ Allowance supports students who have a learning difficulty, health problem, or disability.

The UK government also offers wide-ranging scholarships targeting students from all walks of life for postgraduate studies. The distinguished Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan helps students from Commonwealth countries to study in the UK and the renowned Chevening Scholarship supports outstanding students from around the world to pursue a one-year master’s programme. Well-rounded Indian students who meet the scholarship criteria are eligible to apply for both.

Private scholarships

Private scholarships provide financial aid through kind donors such as corporations, foundations, and individuals. These generous scholarships are available for students who have a proven academic record or who demonstrate their financial needs — or both.

Subject scholarships

A wide range of subject-specific scholarships are available in the UK across engineering, medicine, law, science, business, and humanities fields. Typically, they are awarded based on excellent academic merit or a demonstrated financial need to students who display passion and commitment towards a particular specialisation.

Subject scholarships provide financial support for tuition fees, accommodation, and living expenses with additional benefits like mentorship, networking opportunities, and access to exclusive events. The combination of these benefits enable you to graduate with extra tools in your arsenal to successfully land a job in your chosen field or to pursue further studies to help with your specialisation.

Undergraduate scholarships are reserved for students applying for their first degree, right after completing their high school education. One of the most popular scholarships available for Indian students at the undergraduate level is the GREAT Scholarship that offers funds of up to £10,000 in a variety of subjects.
