Searching for Scholarships

Ever considered the possibilities of studying abroad? Why not take the chance to get valuable hands on experience by working abroad with a wide diverse range of international students by applying to Internship-UK?

At Internship-UK we understand the difficulties for students who are looking for additional financial aid and scholarship opportunities. Therefore, we are continually exploring available networks for scholarships, grants, trusts and charities that can help with the financial costs whilst studying abroad.

If you are undertaking a work abroad programme as part of your university course requirement or if you are still currently in education, you may be able to receive study abroad and vocational scholarships from your institution. We strongly ask that you contact your university or internship coordinator to check the availability of grants and scholarships.

Note: as a pre-requirement for you to apply you must be on a ERASMUS or Leonardo programme or be on a similiar scholarship or mobility program to apply with Internship-UK.

For more information on the conditions to applying and how Internship-UK can help you, feel free to contact us.
