There has been a steady rise recently in the number of company scholarships being offered to UK students, either here in the UK, or from America. Companies create scholarships for lots of reasons such as to encourage diversity in their workforce, to attract graduate recruits or sometimes to get their brand recognised among students who are their target customers.
Whatever their motivation in offering these company scholarships, they represent a great opportunity as they are usually open to all students, wherever you are studying, and quite often whatever subject you are studying. What’s more, it is often just a case of answering a question, either in the form of an essay, video or some other format.
You will find this type of scholarship on the Blackbullion funding hub where you can use filters to find the most relevant funds for your situation.
Here are some examples, but this list is by no means exhaustive and new ones are being added all the time.
