Universities offer GREAT Scholarships for a sustainable future scheme
The GREAT Scholarship for a sustainable future 2021 offers students from Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkey and Vietnam a chance to study at a UK university for a one-year postgraduate course in a climate change-related subject.
Funded by the British Council, the GREAT Britain Campaign, and participating UK higher education institutions, each scholarship offers a minimum of £10,000 towards tuition fees.
The GREAT Scholarships are designed to widen access to climate change courses in the UK and create a cohort of young spokespeople for positive change.
They will enable 26 international environmentally-minded students to advance their education in the UK and be well positioned to pursue green jobs, supporting delivery of transformational change.
The scholarship is part of a global cultural relations programme being led by the British Council to add value to United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), which is being hosted by the UK in Glasgow in November 2021.
