Scholarship Overview

The University of Warwick offers a variety of funding programs for international students pursuing undergraduate, master’s, and PhD degrees in the UK. Options range from the Warwick Undergraduate Global Excellence Scholarship, which covers portions of tuition, to the WMG Excellence Scholarship for master’s students and the fully funded Chancellor’s International Scholarship for PhD researchers.
