Funding (impossible?)

I

Hello All,

I'm an overseas (not EU) PhD student in London. This is my second year in Sociology. I came to UK with a hope of finding a grant for my studies. However, I realized that governmental bodies give funding only to EU/UK students. Well, doing a PhD has been my life-ambition but now I experience severe difficulties due to financial constraints. There is a huge currency exchange gap between my country and UK so all my savings have gone in a year. What a surprise! Yes, I know I should have thought but I always had a chance to fund my studies before. This time, that did not happen.

Do you know any institution that gives funding to international students? (Even, British Council stopped giving funding to PhDs)

Thanks

Hi Insomnia,

Try reading this: http://www.findaphd.com/student/funding/funding-1.asp

If you scroll down the page you will see a section titled 'International Students Studying in the UK' - perhaps there is something for you there?

Good luck in your search, hopefully someone will have some advice for you.
