Scholarships for LLM Human Rights Without Having an LLB

Hi everyone! I hold an offer from LLM Human Rights, Conflict and Justice at SOAS, University of London and am wondering if there are any scholarships I might be eligible for applying. For context, I am a Singaporean citizen residing in the UK and hold a First Class Honours BA Fine Art and History of Art from Goldsmiths, University of London. Unfortunately, I do not have an LLB and applied directly to the LLM after my BA. Any leads or advice would be much appreciated, thank you!
