Scholarships

Students from European Union countries who plan to apply to British universities for the 2018/2019 academic year will remain eligible to apply for scholarships and loans for undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral studies. This means that 2018/2019 applicants will still be eligible to apply for loans and grants even if their graduation date is after the UK’s exit from the European Union.

Universities in the UK offer scholarships to their students, but they are not among the most widely used funding sources for education and are not as popular as in Poland. They can be obtained for undergraduate and graduate studies. Universities have their own pools of scholarships designed for both applicants and those already studying.

Students from low-income families can receive amaintenance grant. The social scholarship is non-refundable. This scholarship assists in financing a portion of the study costs or helps the student cover expenses such as food, lodging, and commuting. The social grant is credited directly to the student’s bank account.

Universities in the UK also offer additional scholarships and grants for academic performance or special achievements, sports, and science. Some universities also provide extra scholarships awarded only to students in some majors. Students can also apply for funding for their projects.

Applying for matriculation is worthwhile, as some universities reward their students with scholarships for achieving excellent results in their matriculation exams.
