Are there specific categories for external scholarships or are they generally open to everyone in UK for a Master's?

Most external scholarships for UK master's programs have specific eligibility categories - they are not generally open to everyone.

Common criteria include:
- Academic excellence (high grades or achievements)
- Financial need
- Work experience (some, like the Chevening Scholarship, require at least two years)
- Field of study (certain scholarships are limited to specific subjects)
- Target groups (e.g., scholarships for Indian female graduates in social sciences)

Always review the eligibility details for each scholarship to see if you qualify. If you need help identifying suitable scholarships, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
