Scholarship Overview

The Global Study Awards were started and are supported by International Student Identity Card (ISIC), StudyPortals and British Council IELTS. The aim of these awards is to motivate more students to study abroad for their Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, and to explore new countries, cultures and languages. Studying abroad has a profound impact on a student’s life as it allows him/ her to take his/ her career to a new level, and to understand new cultures and way of living. Students must note that the Global Study Awards cannot be used to pursue academics domestically. The maximum individual award is for £10,000 that would be paid directly to the higher education institution where the applicants plan to study. In case the tuition fee is below the maximum fund amount, the remaining funds would be allocated towards their living costs for a maximum of 52 weeks, starting from when they first registered at the institution.
