Are there scholarships or bursaries for international students?

university scholarships

Most (but not all) universities and education institutes offer some form of scholarship and/or bursary to international students. Some of these scholarships / bursaries may be offered to almost all international students who holds a place in the institution, but they tend to be of lower value. Higher value scholarships on the other hand are often limited in numbers and highly competitive.
