Open House sessions

If you're interested in finding out about scholarships to study in the UK, our Open House sessions are designed to provide the detailed information you need. The majority of students who come to study in the UK pay for their courses privately. There are a limited number of scholarships and grants available for meritorious students.

The British government and other UK organisations provide a number of scholarships and awards to help international students to study in the UK. The Scholarship Open House sessions provide the personal, face-to-face information you need.

The briefing sessions take place at the four main British Council offices in India (Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai). Information is given on scholarships available through the British Council. A detailed briefing is given on the British Chevening Scholarships Programme, which is funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) of the British government and managed by the British Council.  There is also an opportunity to put any questions you may have to a member of the British Council Scholarships team. These sessions are open to the public and there is no registration fee.

For more information you can contact your nearest British Council office in New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai.
