THE FUNDING EDIT

Government and named scholarships

Explore official national and international award schemes, with funding coverage, application routes and published dates.

University students learning, planning and celebrating their studiesYour next chapter, thoughtfully planned ↗
Official sources. Clear funding. Dates you can check.

Browse 57 selected funding schemes and 37 official directories. Each record links to its provider. Amounts retain their published year; previous deadlines are not new application dates. Where the next call is unpublished or unverified, we say so.

A scholarship directory is not an award. University admission does not guarantee funding, and a tuition waiver alone may leave living costs to pay. This catalogue is not an exhaustive list of every university scholarship.

Citizenship filters remove known country exclusions, but do not establish eligibility. A blank country restriction means you must check the provider. Subject search only searches this catalogue’s text; many awards accept additional disciplines.
