UK educational institutions are world class. The excellence of their teaching, research and scholarships is acknowledged worldwide.
Such is the reputation of British education that, every year, UK institutions attract hundreds of thousands of international students. Many who come to study here pay for their courses privately and some receive financial help.
UK government departments and the devolved administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, plus a number of other UK organisations, offer a variety of scholarships and other awards to help international students study in the UK.
These awards are a sign of the UK's strong commitment to the rest of the world. They also show the UK's awareness of the many benefits that come from sharing the excellence of its schools, colleges and universities with visiting students and scholars from abroad.
A booklet entitled Sources of funding for international students has been produced jointly by the British Council, UKCOSA: The Council for International Education and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and is intended as a basic guide to possible sources of funding for international students who want to study in the UK. The booklet is available to download as an electronic document for viewing and printing:

To find out whether you might be eligible for a scholarship or for financial grant support, you should ask your own Ministry of Education. You can also consult your local British Council office, which will have information about specific UK award schemes.
Complete information about study in UK can be found in the "Education UK website" of the British Council.
