The UK is an expensive country to study in but with a scholarship studying in the UK can become affordable. Scholarships help reduce students’ overall expenses and allow aspiring students to study at more prestigious and expensive UK universities where otherwise the fees would have been too high. Scholarships are awarded to students based on their application, statement of purpose, previous academic records and extracurricular activities. Some of the best scholarships for UK universities are:
1. GREAT Scholarships-
These scholarships are jointly funded by the British Council and the UK government’s ‘GREAT Britain’ campaign, under the ‘Study UK’ campaign and range from a minimum of £10,000 to the entire one year tuition fees.
2. Chevening Scholarships-

3. Commonwealth Scholarships-
