Undergraduate scholarships open for 2027 entry

This page lists scholarships for undergraduate study that are open now, mostly for students starting a bachelor's degree in 2027. It includes university awards open to international students in the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe, and national or company bursaries for students in particular countries. Each listing was checked against the official page and shows the deadline, the amount and who can apply.

Undergraduate funding works differently from master's and PhD funding. Most awards come from the university itself and are tied to your admission, so you are often considered automatically when you apply by a priority date. Fully funded places are rare and competitive; many awards are partial, covering a share of tuition or a fixed sum each year. Read each listing's "What it covers" line carefully and plan how you will pay any remaining costs.

Timing matters more than most applicants expect. For autumn 2027 entry, many US and Canadian universities set scholarship deadlines between November and February, earlier than their final admission deadlines. Berea College, for example, has an international application deadline of 30 November. Missing the early date can rule you out of the main awards even if you are later admitted.

How to make a strong application:

1. List the universities you are applying to and note each one's scholarship deadline, not just its admission deadline. 2. Check whether a separate scholarship form or essay is needed, or whether the admission application is enough. 3. Prepare transcripts, test scores if required, and proof of English early. 4. Write essays that answer each prompt directly and show what you have done, not only what you hope to do. 5. Ask teachers for recommendations well before the earliest deadline.
