If you are hoping for a scholarship to help pay your studies, then plan to start making enquiries and applications at least a year in advance. The chance of arranging a scholarship or bursary or major funding after arrival in the UK is minimal. Contact your nearest Education Link house office for some guidance on how to apply for scholarships. You can also get some information from your local British Council office or the ministry or department of Education in your own country. Many of the universities and colleges represented by Education Link house partial scholarships and details are available from your nearest Education Link house office. Most scholarships in the UK are available for postgraduate study and for research although there are a few for undergraduate study.
