  • There are a variety of scholarships available for different courses, as well as ones that are open to all. I received the maximum scholarship award of 6000 GBP after the admission board reviewed my academic, professional, as well as extracurricular data.
  • There were a few more students in my class who received the same or fewer amount worthy scholarships, depending on each individual's records. I am not sure about the specific criteria, because that might be subject to changes before the start of every new academic year.
