Grants for Masters

Hello all,

I am interested in studying a MSC in Wildlife Conservation in UK from September 2009 and I would like to know if there is any kind of grant or scholarship I could apply for.
I am Spanish but I have been living in UK for two years already, so I am not sure if I could apply for a grant in UK and what kind of grant would be.
It would be great if any of you could inform me since I am quite lost in this field.

Many thanks,

Rlopez

I don't honestly know the answer to this, but I suspect that unless you are a British citizen, you won't be eligible for British grant money. However, you should be able to apply for Spanish money to fund a UK masters. We get a lot of overseas students studying in our group at Glasgow uni, and I believe the majority bring their own funding, but it may be different for EU citizens.

There are no grants for doing a Masters.

At least there wasn't when my No1 daughter did hers in Eng. Language & Syntax three years ago. We had to pay for it.

Many thanks for the responses. I will find out about grants in Spain and also for EU citizens.

Cheers

No grants from the Government but you may be able to find funding elsewhere,a bursary is your best bet, check with the Universities you are interested in, if bursaries are available they may send you the application form along with the University application form.
