Introduction

Hello guys, welcome back! The other day, I was shopping for a ribbon in the UK and it cost £8. For that price, I go “what?” if that’s my reaction for a ribbon, just imagine how you would react when you actually see the amount of fees you would have to pay to study in the UK.

Tuition Fees for International Students

The UK fees for international students stand between £1,400 and £38,000, with an average of approximately £22,000. That’s approximately 23 lakhs if you’re Indian – big money. Now, if you’ve got that sort of money lying around, no biggie, good for you. But for everybody else, if you’d like to know how to drop the price of studying in the UK significantly, you’re going to want to watch this video.

Types of Scholarships in the UK

Welcome back to today’s video. Today, we are talking about types of scholarships available in the UK, what they offer, deadlines, and how you can apply. My name is Ashika, and on this channel, we talk about moving across the world to study or for that job.

Why Students Miss Out on Scholarships

Many students visit the UK every year, but few apply for scholarship grants. This may be because they are ignorant of such scholarships in the first instance or do not believe one will qualify. The fact remains that many different scholarships exist to support your individual needs and more than just academics.

Coverage of Scholarships

In the UK, scholarships range from partial funding to full funding, which can comprise university tuition fees, a visa fee, flight tickets, living expenses, and sometimes even the cost of warm clothing.

Types of Scholarships

Performance Scholarships- For students who perform exceptionally well in extracurricular activities, such as music, sports, or performing arts.

Academic Merit and Excellence Scholarships- Students have academic excellence and have high academic marks.

Subject-Specific Scholarships- This are for the achievements of the students in certain courses or subjects.

Disability Scholarships: Programmes to support students with disabilities or long-term health conditions.

Challenges of Student Accommodations in the UK

Competition for student accommodations is quite intense as a result of the housing crisis in the UK. Booking accommodation early saves up to 45%. Websites such as Amber offer excellent deals as they operate cashback and refund options in case your visa or university acceptance doesn’t go through.

How to Apply for Scholarships

The first step is researching available scholarships. Check scholarship websites, university pages, blogs, and reviews to gather as much information as possible. Evaluate the criteria for each scholarship carefully and focus on a few to maximize your chances.

Organizing Your Applications

Create an Excel sheet to track scholarships, deadlines, and requirements. Set calendar alerts for application dates and tasks like writing essays and gathering references.

Crafting a Strong Application

Tailor your application to each scholarship, showing your accomplishments, story, and future. Limit the word size, and have a friend, family member, or alum look over it for you.
