Scholarship finder
Funding you can actually apply for
Every scheme here is a real, named, publicly documented award — with the value, the eligibility and the deadline taken from the body that runs it. We link you to the official page for each one. We do not administer any of them, and no consultancy can influence who wins.
Ask us to check the university awards for your shortlist
The named schemes above are public. The university-level awards are not always easy to find, change every year, and are where most students actually save money. Send us your shortlist and we'll go through what each one currently offers.
Important. Vasco Study Abroad does not run, administer, award or influence any of the scholarships listed on this page, and we cannot improve anyone's chances of receiving one. We charge nothing for scholarship guidance, and you should be cautious of anyone who asks you to pay for a scholarship application, guarantees a scholarship, or offers to submit one on your behalf for a fee. Values, eligibility rules and deadlines change every cycle — always confirm on the official page linked with each entry before you apply, and treat the dates shown here as a prompt to go and check rather than as the final word.
Three kinds of funding, and they are not equal
Fully funded government scholarships — Chevening, Commonwealth, Fulbright. They cover fees and living costs, they are genuinely life-changing, and they are extremely competitive. Apply if you are eligible, but never build your plan around winning one.
Named partial awards — GREAT, Saltire, Government of Ireland. A fixed sum off your fees, decided nationally or by the university. Realistic to win, worth the effort, and they do not cover living costs.
University merit awards — the ones most students actually get. Typically a few thousand off tuition, sometimes automatic on your grades, sometimes on a short form. Every university runs its own, they change every year, and they are the ones worth asking us to check for your specific shortlist.
This page is general guidance, not legal, immigration or financial advice. Fees and rules change often, so always check the official government or university website before you apply or pay.
