Scholarships for International Students Going to England

I'm awaiting offers for law from Durham, Bristol, Nottingham, UCL, and King's. I really wanna study in the UK because I'm done with living in Hong Kong; been here for 14 years and I want a new setting to live my life. It's such a small city and I've seen everything and I want to live in a country where I'm free to roam around during holidays and that instead of being trapped in one area. Further, the legal industry is probably under threat because of communist policies likely to be implemented in the upcoming years and I wanna get out of here.

A major reason why my Dad wants me to stay in HK is that HKU is probably better than all the UK unis I've applied to apart from maybe UCL so I'm hoping HKU rejects me asap. Other than that, international fees in the UK are approixametely 6-7 times as expensive as local HK fees. I tried to convince my dad that English degrees are 3 years long unlike the 4 year degrees in HK and that I'd earn the extra tuition of 50,000 pounds of going to the UK back in the extra year I'm able to work. He doesn't really budge from my arguments but his line of reasoning is pretty solid and there's not much I can do.

It's not that my dad can't pay as well; I go to a private school but he's just against the principle of spending so much extra for uni when I could go for so cheap here. Scholarships are probably the last shot I have anyone know any I can apply for for the unis stated above?
