Scholarships which are not specific to just one university

When applying to university it is always recommended to check with the university you are applying to whether they have any scholarships you might be eligible for. Most universities do have a range of scholarships on offer and you will find them either listed on the university website or by searching The Scholarship Hub database. However, it is harder to find scholarships that can be used at any university but there are a growing number out there offered by companies and charitable organisations. Some of these are offered to encourage students in to specific professions; others are offered to relieve financial difficulties for students from particular locations or backgrounds.

Here is a selection of some that we think are particularly worth looking at but there are many more on our website and the list is growing monthly so do keep checking. Just select “No specific university” as the Institution and leave the other search criteria blank and you will get the whole list.
