About studentships:
At present time, studentships are only available for UK applicants. Studentships are meant to cover living expenses and UK university tuition rates only. For overseas students, there is the highly competitive Scotish Overseas Research Students Awards Scheme (SORSAS) which pays the difference between the tuition fees paid by UK and Overseas students. However, overseas students still have to pay the UK tuition fees, which is why we encourage them to look at other sources of funding like the ones listed above.
