UK Government - Postgrad Solutions Study Bursaries 

Postgrad Solutions Study Bursaries

You will receive a grant of one-off payment of about 2,340 EUR (2,000 GBP) for your postgraduate studies. Each year, five grants totalling 10,000 GBP are awarded (a grant is a form of financial support that you do not have to repay). You can use the money to cover tuition fees or living costs – whichever you need. You can also claim it in addition to other funding, as it simply supplements your existing funds. The scholarship is awarded by Postgrad Solutions, the company behind the postgraduate study information portal postgrad.com.

Who can apply

• Study level: You are starting a postgraduate course, such as a Master’s degree (MA, MSc, MBA, LLM), a postgraduate certificate or diploma, or a PhD.
• Accepted place: You have already accepted a place at university. An application that has not yet been finalised is not sufficient.
• Start date: Your degree programme starts in January 2026, in September or October 2026, or in January 2027.
• Nationality: Open to students from all countries.
• University and subject: Every university worldwide and every field of study.
• Study mode: Full-time, part-time, distance-learning and blended-learning programmes are all permitted.
• Age: You must be at least 18 years old. There is no upper age limit.

How to apply

Complete the online application form at postgrad.com. It takes less than 20 minutes. Include a 200-word essay explaining why you deserve the scholarship. The application deadline is 30 September 2026, and the winners will be notified by 31 October 2026. If you have not received a message by then, you have not been selected. The winners will then take part in a short telephone and video interview with the scholarship team.

How realistic are your chances?

This is an open, globally advertised award with only five scholarships available each year; consequently, the pool of applicants is large and the competition fierce. The decision depends solely on your 200-word text, not on your grades, financial situation or choice of university. A concise, compelling reason as to why you, in particular, deserve the scholarship will make all the difference. As there are so few places available, you should regard this short text as your entire application.
