Where can I compare UK scholarships for Indian students in one place?
Compare UK scholarships on the British Council India scholarship pages, the Chevening site and each university's funding page. Then score every option on 6 points: amount, tuition cover, living costs, eligibility, course fit and deadline. University awards often do not appear on national portals.
The best places to compare UK scholarships are official ones: the British Council India scholarship pages, the Chevening site and each university's own funding page. Do not rely on one portal, because many university awards for Indian students are listed only on the university website. A fixed set of comparison points keeps your shortlist fair.
Official places to compare UK scholarships
| Source | What you find there | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| British Council India Study UK pages | Scholarships for Indian students, including GREAT Scholarships and university-funded awards | Your starting list |
| Chevening site | Eligibility, including at least two years of work experience | Checking if you qualify for a government-backed award |
| University funding pages | India-specific tuition discounts and course-linked awards | Awards not on national portals |
| GREAT Scholarships India page | Participating universities and eligible courses; a minimum of £10,000 (approx INR 12.7 L) towards tuition for a one-year postgraduate course | Partial tuition funding |
The 2026 to 2027 GREAT list names 12 participating universities, so your preferred university may not be on it. Check the page for the intake you target.
Six points to compare every scholarship on
- Amount: the published value, and whether it is a fixed sum or a percentage.
- Tuition cover: full or partial, and what remains for you to pay.
- Living costs: whether accommodation and maintenance are included.
- Eligibility: Indian nationality, grades, work experience and any return-home condition.
- Course fit: whether your exact subject and university qualify.
- Deadline: the closing date for the next cycle, since earlier cycle dates may have passed.
Put these six points in a simple sheet with one row per scholarship, and you will see quickly which ones are worth the effort.
My Advice
Begin with the British Council India page, then open the funding page of every university on your shortlist. Treat third-party lists as leads only and verify each scholarship on the awarding body's own page before you apply.
