Scholarships for EU students in the UK

Before Brexit, EU students paid the same tuition fees as UK students, but students newly arrived from the EU starting university this year will be paying the same as International Students making a considerable difference to the cost of studying in the UK for EU students.

Funding support is still available

If you are an EU student thinking about coming to the UK to study, this year could be a good time to come. Despite Brexit and in fact, because of Brexit, many universities are this year offering “ EU transition scholarships”. These scholarships have been designed to ease the transition for EU students from UK fee status to International fee status and in some cases, they are offering the equivalent discount so that the fees are the same as they would have been before Brexit. These scholarships are valid for the duration of your degree and not just the first year.

Unfortunately, EU students will no longer be eligible for UK student loans, so you will still need to find an alternative way to fund your studies.

Here are some examples of what is being offered, but make sure to check out each university you are interested in studying at, to see if they are offering something similar. You can view these scholarships on the Funding Hub.
