Scholarships and grants
We have undergraduate subject specific scholarships here: https://www.leeds.ac.uk/undergraduate-funding/doc/international-funding
In summary - they range in value have academic achievement as a key awarding criteria for the scholarship. They are available in most (but not every) subject.
Our Masters scholarships can be found here: https://masters-scholarships.leeds.ac.uk/
The criteria is similar to our undergraduate scholarships in that they vary in value and awarded on academic merit.
The majority of scholarships are awarded automatically, so students will be considered when they apply. However, we also encourage students to check criteria as a small number of scholarships may have a separate application. Deadlines will vary.
