Try widening the filters. And remember that most university funding is never listed separately — it is assessed from your admission application, so applying well matters more than finding the perfect award.
Book a visit to discuss your options event_availableUnderstanding the different funding sources available for international students.
Direct grants from universities to attract high-achieving international students. Often based on merit or specific course enrolment.
Prestigious scholarships offered by national governments (Chevening, Fulbright, DAAD, Vanier) focusing on leadership and bilateral ties.
Funding from private trusts, NGOs, and corporate partners looking to support students in specific research areas or backgrounds.
Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
Tuition, living costs, visa funds and flights for your destination — so you know the gap you are actually trying to close.

Check the requirement arrow_forwardLanka Scholar is not a funding body. We cannot award, reserve or guarantee a scholarship, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something. Here is the part we can genuinely influence.
We look at your grades, your budget and the level you are targeting, then tell you which awards you have a real chance at — and which are not worth your time.
Most university funding is decided from your admission application, not a separate form. Getting that application right is the single biggest thing you can control.
Applications usually fail on missed deadlines and incomplete files rather than on merit. We keep yours complete and on time. The funder still makes the decision.
Don't let financial barriers hold you back. Book a free visit at any of our three offices and sit down with a counsellor to see which awards you could realistically be considered for. Consultations are in person only.
