FAQs for University of Manchester Global Source Scholarships
Q.Is the 'Global Source Scholarships' the same as 'Global Futures Scholarships'?
While 'Global Source Scholarships' is not officially listed for 2026/2027, the 'Global Futures Scholarships' appear to be the primary and most comprehensive international scholarship program offered by the University of Manchester for international students, including those from India, for the 2026/2027 academic year. It is likely the active successor or equivalent program.
Q.What specifically does the scholarship cover?
The scholarship is awarded as a discount on your international tuition fees. For Master's students, this is typically £15,000, though some regional variations apply (e.g., £18,000 for students from certain African countries). It does not explicitly cover living expenses, flights, or health insurance, unlike some other Manchester scholarships (e.g., Equity and Merit).
Q.Do I need to apply for this scholarship separately, or is it automatic?
You need to apply separately for the scholarship, but the application process is initiated after you receive an offer of admission to a full-time, on-campus program. Eligible offer-holders will be sent an online scholarship application form via email. You must then complete and submit this form by the given deadline.
Q.My country is not listed in the eligible countries. Can I still apply?
To be eligible for a Global Futures Scholarship, you must be domiciled in one of the specific countries listed for the scholarship. These lists can vary by region and year, so it's crucial to check the official Global Futures Scholarships page for the most up-to-date information regarding eligible countries for the 2026/2027 academic year.
