I’m an 18-year-old international student looking to apply for Fall 2025. I want to study in the USA, UK, or a European country. I’ll be taking the IELTS and SAT in March. I have strong extracurriculars, including writing awards, but my financial situation is difficult. I need a fully funded scholarship to secure my future.
If anyone knows of full-ride scholarships for international students, especially in the US or Europe, please share them. Your help would mean a lot. Thank you!
As a UK student, I’d advise crossing UK universities off your list. British universities offer almost no financial aid to international students. Most pay upwards of $50k per year for 3-4 years. The only notable scholarship is Chevening, and that’s only for a one-year master’s program.
Your best bet is the US. Look into need-blind universities that don’t factor financial need into their admissions process. Some top private universities and liberal arts colleges also offer generous financial aid for international students.
You should also check out Fulbright scholarships and university-specific awards for international students. Here’s a list of scholarships in the US that might help:

What about Canadian universities? Are they more like the UK or US when it comes to financial aid?

They’re more like the US in terms of grading and system structure, but I’m not too familiar with their scholarships.

Ok, thanks!
