The GREAT Scholarships programme is a prestigious initiative designed to support academically talented students from India and 18 other countries in accessing world-class postgraduate education in the UK. For the 2026–27 academic year, 26 UK universities are offering GREAT Scholarships to Indian students, covering a wide range of subject areas, from science and technology to law, arts, and design.
Each scholarship provides a minimum of £10,000 towards tuition fees for a one-year taught postgraduate course at a participating UK university. In some cases, awards may cover full tuition fees, making this an exceptional opportunity for Indian students seeking financial support to pursue a master’s degree in the UK.
