The government of the United Kingdom and universities in the UK have funding options for international students. Both partially and fully funded scholarships are awarded to students according to their eligibility.
The partial funding scholarship covers a part of tuition fees and sometimes full tuition fees. While fully funded scholarships cover tuition fees, admission fees, living expenses, and travel costs. In a few cases, health insurance is also protected by scholarships. You can search for scholarships and learn about universities in the United Kingdom.
