University of Bristol Think Big International Scholarships

The University of Bristol states that Think Big is its flagship scholarship scheme. Think Big international scholarships are for international applicants with overseas fee status who have applied for an eligible undergraduate or master's course, with up to £5 million invested in Think Big scholarships to fund UK study at the University of Bristol.

Think Big undergraduate scholarships are valued at £6,500 or £13,000 for up to four years of study, and Think Big postgraduate scholarships are valued at £6,500, £13,000, or £26,000 for your first year of study (for eligible postgraduate master’s programmes). The page also lists additional subject- and school-specific Think Big awards and scholarship-related options such as the Think Big Career Accelerator for postgraduate applicants.

The page describes a single application process: you submit one scholarship application form, and your application is matched with your University study application. You are then considered for every scholarship where you meet the necessary eligibility requirements. The page also includes an application timeline and notes terms and conditions must be read before applying.
