Can you give a few more details - what subject, which uni, what level (I'm guessing Bachelors but is it a Masters or something else)? And which part of the world are you from originally (e.g. Commonwealth, USA, Europe, elsewhere, just as an example)? Which part of the UK are you living in, as the rules are different for Scotland, for instance - have a look at www.gov.uk/student-finance/who-qualifies

You might also find once he's at university that they have funds or bursaries that he can tap into, though this does often depend on income/parental income etc. Is he eligible for student loans and so on and have you looked into those already?

You might also find some useful links at www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/grants-education/ andwww.thestudentroom.co.uk/student-finance/

I take it he doesn't have british citizenship and doesn't qualify for a student loan?

Thanks for the response.So my son has formed UCL for meng in Mechanical engineering (undergraduate) and we are originally from India,living in greater London.To the best of my knowledge, bursaries and student loans are applicable to UK ho.e students.

You'd be better off contacting the universities themselves as they will differ

Have a look on UCL website. My daughter is close to firming and I was looking at scholarships the other day. We aren’t from overseas.
