GREAT Scholarships 2026: Big Funding, Big Opportunities 

If you’re planning to study in the UK in September 2026, here’s some great news! There’s a scholarship opportunity called the GREAT Scholarships, funded by the UK Government and the British Council, and we want to help you make sense of it. Whether you’ve heard of it before or are totally new, this post will break down what it is, which universities are participating, and how to apply. 

  • The GREAT Scholarships are postgraduate master’s scholarships for international students from more than 14 countries.
  • Each scholarship is worth £10,000 that goes toward tuition fees for a one-year taught master’s program.
  • The program is a collaboration between the UK government’s GREAT Britain Campaign and the British Council, together with participating UK universities.
  • Recipients of this scholarship will also be invited to networking events and welcome activities to build a community of GREAT scholars.  

Here’s a list of universities in the UK that are offering GREAT Scholarships for the 2026 academic year, along with their application deadlines (as of the latest update)
