Scholarships for studying abroad

Support for your studies

Scholarships are financial awards given to students to help them through their education. These awards do not need to be repaid and are typically granted based on criteria such as academic achievement and financial need. They are specific to each university and there may be a limit on how many students can receive one.

What are the different types of scholarships?

Pathway scholarships

A pathway scholarship is a type of financial support provided to students who are pursuing an international pathway programme, such as International Year One or Pre-Masters programme. These scholarships are often designed to help students bridge gaps between different stages of education.

Progression scholarships

A progression scholarship may be awarded to students who successfully complete a pathway programme and then move on to a university degree programme. These scholarships are designed to help students transition smoothly to full undergraduate or postgraduate studies at the university.
