How do scholarships work for international students? Are they automatic or do I need to apply in UK?

It depends. Some UK scholarships for international students are automatic, while others require a separate application.

- Automatic scholarships: Many UK universities offer merit-based scholarships automatically when you apply for admission. No extra application is needed - these are typically based on your academic record.
- Separate application scholarships: Some scholarships, especially government-funded ones like Chevening or Commonwealth Scholarships, require a separate application and have their own deadlines and criteria.

Scholarship availability, eligibility, and application processes are subject to change.
