GREAT Scholarships offers 60 scholarships from UK universities, across a variety of subjects for students from India. Each scholarship is worth a minimum of £10,000 towards tuition fees for a one-year postgraduate course. 

Each scholarship is jointly funded by the UK government’s GREAT Britain Campaign and the British Council with participating UK higher education institutions. 

• be a citizen of India.

• be motivated and academically able to follow a UK postgraduate course
• active in the field with work experience or proven interest in the subject area

We expect scholars to attend lectures and tutorials and engage with extra-curricular activities.

We want you to act as an ambassador for UK higher education by sharing your experiences and promoting the value of studying at a UK university. You may also be asked to attend a networking event with other scholars, to discuss experiences so we can capture perceptions of studying in the UK.
