How can i apply for a scholarship to study in the UK and earn it? Any idea?

Hi, there are probably a few places you can start if you're looking to gain a scholarship to study in the UK. I'm assuming your an international student and so these pointers are based on that.

You might like to explore governmental and non-governmental bodies, including educational charities, provide financial assistance to a diversity of students seeking education overseas. You can approach commercial and industrial companies in the fields related to your specialisation.
An organisation that is certainly worth looking into and fits the category of educational charity is Chevening and you can look at them here: https://www.chevening.org/
A governmental organisation which is also worth looking at is the British Council, and you can view their scholarship information here: https://study-uk.britishcouncil.org/scholarships-funding

Beyond that it's worth narrowing down your list of universities to see the funding and scholarship options that they may be able to provide themselves.
If it's of any use we also have some general guidance on funding for international students here: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/study/international/finance.phpz

Hope this is helpful and all the best with your research into this!
