There are a lot of names, no clear boundaries, and none of them are easy to apply for.
Only those with excellent grades can successfully apply.
And some scholarships are not for Chinese students.
But there are a few ways and techniques that can help you successfully apply for a scholarship.
Here is a small series to tell you about the type of scholarship to study in the UK and what the application conditions are.
1. The Foreign Office Chevening Scholarship This is the most representative flagship scholarship programme of the British Government.
Both the size of the scholarship and its prestige have given the award a high profile in the world.
The scholarship is funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO).
In China, the Chevening Scholarship programme operates through the British Embassy in Beijing and the British Consulate-General in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chongqing.
The Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy and Consulates administers the scholarship.
The Chevening Scholarship is for eligible permanent residents living in China who wish to apply for a one-year master’s degree in the UK.
Scholarship winners can choose universities and courses according to their major or interest, but only if the subject they study is related to their current career.
2. International Student Scholarships are offered by the UK government to students from outside the European Union. There are usually about 900 students a year. The scholarships are highly competitive.
For master’s programs, they are usually awarded for one year, and doctoral programs can be awarded for three years.
Applications must be submitted through one school only. Multiple applications will result in disqualification.
The deadline for General International Student Scholarships (ORS) is April of the year, so be sure to beat that date.
The scholarship, which has a long application cycle of several months, is used by many Chinese students to pursue doctoral degrees.
3. Scottish International Scholarships The Scottish International Scholarships offer a reduction of ¡ê2,000 in tuition fees for each applicant. This scholarship includes tuition fees, return flight costs in economy class and a living allowance.
Applicants must apply for a taught master’s programme, with preference given to specialist areas such as finance, science, technology, creative industries and renewable and clean energy.
The scholarships are accepted by 17 universities across Scotland, such as the University of Edinburgh, the University of Glasgow and the University of Stirling, and each applicant can choose from three Scottish universities at a time. Priority will be given to students studying science, technology and innovative industries.
Scottish International Scholarship is very suitable for Chinese students, especially the finance major is very popular among international students nowadays. The advantages of the professional field and the ability to apply to three universities at the same time make the application success rate much higher than the two scholarships mentioned before.
4. In addition to the above three kinds of scholarships, the university itself will also provide corresponding scholarships, such as university scholarship, department scholarship, project scholarship, etc.
University scholarship is refers to the university will be according to the information provided by the applicants apply for colleges and universities to evaluate, to outstanding applicants directly give 1000 pounds to 2000 pounds of scholarship subsidies, this scholarship will be with university admission notice sent to the corresponding applicants, like UEA after receiving this notice, you also need to reply whether schools accept, other generally don’t have to reply,
Deduct it directly when you pay college tuition.
For department scholarship or project scholarship, applicants need to apply separately. Take Sheffield University as an example, the university will send an email about applying for scholarship to all applicants who get the university admission notice, which contains the application method and application materials requirements. Applicants can operate according to the requirements.
The university’s own scholarship application is certainly easier than the government’s, which is also the most common type of scholarship for British students, but this kind of scholarship has an application deadline, to apply for students, must be prepared early, early application.
It seems that IELTS scores are not only the gateway to studying in the UK, but also the essential tool for applying for scholarships.
Ielts is a mandatory requirement for students to apply for university courses in the UK, and it is also a necessary element for students to apply for study scholarships in the UK.
A good IELTS score is a good indicator of an applicant’s language skills, thinking ability and learning ability.
The English Chevening Scholarship requires an IELTS of 6.5 and the Scottish International Scholarship requires an IELTS of 6.5 or above.
The importance of IELTS in applying for scholarships in the UK is self-evident.
Many scholarship applications in the UK are linked to undergraduate grades. For example, UK academic scholarships require an average of 85 or higher to qualify.
An excellent transcript will directly reflect the applicant’s personal ability and directly reflect the feasibility of studying abroad.
At the same time, Britain’s leading universities will allocate scholarships according to their professional quality, making them more valuable.
3. Work Experience The Scottish International Scholarships and Chevening Scholarships require work experience.
In the case of the Scottish International Scholarship, it is specified that the applicant has at least three years of full-time work experience after graduation.
It is very advantageous to apply for a scholarship with practical experience.
Most UK universities have a more rigorous requirement for practical experience, so all international students should put themselves into practice to enhance their personal strength.
4. Honor proof is a positive statement of a student’s ability. Nothing is more professional than awards and honors.
The certificates issued by the university and the student’s social awards and honors will help international students make a strong interpretation of the scholarship application that reflects the applicant’s ethics and ability to receive the scholarship.
1. Collect All Kinds of Scholarships There are many scholarships in the country, including private ones, local governments, schools, and organizations (such as religious ones).
Not only is it enough to know what they are, but also what are the requirements, what are the limitations (such as education, age or grades or majors), how much money is available, and whether it is all or half.
Because you have to meet the requirements to apply, these are important, especially if they are offered by organizations other than schools.
Some even have gender requirements.
This means that some schools will automatically admit students who meet the requirements and have excellent grades and performance, so that they do not have to apply. Doing so would not only be a waste of time, but also unnecessary.
But SOME schools even if it is to meet the requirements of excellent students also want to apply for their own, is not automatically admitted into, so the school is to be clear about what kind of practice.
3. Understand the limitations of the major in some kinds of their own reported that there is no way to apply for the major, so also follow their own major.
To understand what can apply, what is the limit can not apply, and then the most suitable for their own place that major (that is, the success rate of the application).
Of course, some are followed by scholarships, that is, to see which major to learn this kind of preferential most choose which, in fact, this is also a very good method, because often those who are good but no one knows the major, whether learning or other above, hidden advantages are many.
4. After the above steps are done, it is basic to prepare materials, or to apply for those suitable for themselves, apply more, because only apply for a single word, not to wait for the next time.
Of COURSE, SOME SCHOOLS NEED NOT APPLY FOR DIRECT automatic INCLUSION of the word, WITH RESPECT to this last step also omitted.
