Edvoy can guide you on scholarships, but we don't provide them directly.
And just a heads-up, scholarships typically won't cover your living expenses.
The UK is home to some of the most prestigious institutions in the world, it can, however, come at a high financial cost.
If you have the talent and ability to succeed, concerns about funding should not stop you from applying. There is a list of scholarships offered by the government for all the brilliant brains out there. These partial or fully paid scholarships help you fund your studies depending on the criteria, course and institution.
