UCL Global Undergraduate Scholarships for International Students

UCL offers the Global Undergraduate Scholarship to help international students from low-income backgrounds study a full-time bachelor's degree at the university. The award removes the cost of tuition for all recipients and, for some, also provides a maintenance allowance. It is aimed at students who would otherwise struggle to afford UCL's overseas fees.
