Hi,

I am a fourth year female student at Maseno University in Kenya, pursuing a degree in computer engineering. I will be graduating in December and will want to go for Masters in any university in U.K. preferably Imperial college london. Is there any scholarships offered or any financial Aid I can get?

The Imperial College in London has a funding program for oversea students listed below;

Overseas Students
There are national scholarships for overseas students, called ORS awards, which cover the difference between the overseas fees (£10,850) and the home fees (£3,010). These awards are prestigious and competitive. The student or supervisor has to find the funds for the remainder of the fees and the bursary. To ensure eligibility for these awards, please apply as early as possible, e.g. in early November for the competition of the subsequent year. Please refer to the 2005 Guidelines for the ORS Awards Scheme.

Fees: overseas students fees are currently £10,850. The ORS award covers the difference between overseas fees and the EPSRC home fees.
