The GREAT Scholarship 2026 offers an incredible opportunity for students from Pakistan and Indonesia to pursue postgraduate study at Robert Gordon University (RGU) in Scotland, United Kingdom. This prestigious scholarship—jointly funded by the British Council and RGU under the GREAT Britain Campaign—aims to support academically talented students seeking to access world-class UK education.
Overview
The GREAT Scholarships programme, launched by the British Council in partnership with 60 UK universities, provides financial assistance to outstanding students for one-year postgraduate programmes in the UK. At RGU, only two (02) scholarships are available for the 2026 intake, each valued at £10,000.
Beyond financial support, GREAT scholars become cultural and educational ambassadors—sharing their UK study experiences with prospective students and representing the GREAT brand worldwide.
