Country
United KingdomAbout the GREAT Scholarships
GREAT Scholarships are a joint initiative between the UK Government's GREAT Britain Campaign, the British Council, and a rotating list of participating UK universities, offering at least £10,000 toward tuition fees for one-year postgraduate courses. Pakistan has its own dedicated allocation, with 12 scholarships available across partner universities in a recent cycle.
This is not a centralized program with one application portal. Each participating university sets its own deadline and runs its own selection process for its specific listed courses, which change from year to year. It also does not typically cover living costs or travel, so you need other funding arranged alongside it.
