Will UK universities consider me automatically for scholarships when I apply?
Almost all UK universities automatically consider you for a scholarship as soon as you submit your application. Separate scholarships such as Chevening, Gates Cambridge, Commonwealth and Rhodes cover master's courses only, and each has its own application, so confirm details on the official pages.
