第二大類是院校獎學金
下面網站使一些專門為尋找獎學金項目于成立的網站
//www.educationuk.org/global/articles/scholarships-financial-support/
這里介紹一下以下三種英國大學的獎學金
第一種稱之為subject-specific scholarships，也就是針對某些科目開設的獎學金項目，大家可以通過網站查詢學生所學轉專業在哪些大學有提供獎學金，
第二種是sports scholarships to support talented student athletes.有體育強項的學生有資格申請該類獎學金，
第三種就是專門針對中國學生設立的獎學金。
在學校international 網頁China Scholarships available to international students are also listed on country pages found on the International Students website.
至于何時申請獎學金，我們可以了解到絕大部分獎學金是在拿到offer后才可以申請；部分院校在填寫課程申請表時即可選填是否申請獎學金，這種情況，我們建議學生在申請課程時即填寫相關內容，因為英國獎學金申請和課程申請一樣，遵循早到早得的原則，在這之前按照該文章前面的內容了解好各項獎學金的特點。
填寫申請表，需要填寫類似PS的內容，比如為什么你覺得你有資格申請這個獎學金，有的甚至需要提交專業相關的論文。
另外部分院校提供family discount，即之前有家庭成員在該大學完成學業的話，可以獲得一定折扣。
第三類其他類別的就是一些中國機構開設的給赴英留學的學生設立的獎學金項目，比如中國國家留學基金管理委員會等等。
