International student funding
Helpful resources for overseas students to help understand your funding options.
Is there funding available for my country?
The UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) is a helpful resource to find out what funding you may be eligible for.
We also recommend contacting the Department of Education in your home country for details of any government scholarships or funding which may be available for overseas study.
