International students planning to study in the United Kingdom will have access to a wide range of scholarships in 2026, covering undergraduate, master’s, and PhD levels. These programs are designed to support talented students by reducing financial pressure and promoting academic excellence at leading UK universities.
For undergraduate students, the University of Warwick is offering the Warwick Undergraduate Global Excellence Scholarship. This merit-based award is available to international students enrolling in full-time undergraduate programs. The scholarship provides a reduction in tuition fees and is aimed at rewarding strong academic performance and outstanding achievements.
According to Warwick University, the scholarship helps ease the cost of overseas tuition and encourages high-achieving students to choose Warwick for their studies. The value of the award varies depending on academic merit and the level of the offer received. The deadline to apply for this undergraduate scholarship is January 27, 2026.
At the postgraduate level, the Optiver Foundation Scholarship is being offered at the University of Oxford for master’s students. This fully funded scholarship supports women from low- and middle-income countries who are enrolling in eligible STEM programs. It covers full tuition fees, provides a living stipend, and includes induction and mentoring support.
The same Optiver Foundation Scholarship is also available for PhD candidates at Oxford. This doctoral-level scholarship supports women pursuing advanced research in eligible STEM fields. Successful applicants receive full tuition coverage, a living stipend, and additional research support throughout the duration of their PhD studies.
Officials say these scholarships play a key role in promoting diversity, inclusion, and academic excellence across UK institutions. With deadlines falling in late January 2026, international students are encouraged to review eligibility criteria carefully and submit applications on time to benefit from these opportunities.
