Don’t wait for government on EU scholarships, UK universities told

Institutions urged to set up financial help for EU students ahead of tuition fees hike

Vivienne Stern, director of vice-chancellors’ body Universities UK International, told delegates at UUK’s International Higher Education Forum 2021 on 14 April that universities should “return to making the case” among policymakers for a “targeted scholarship offer for European students”.
