Don't know why??? but then hey such is life or better still that's what it boils down to in capitalist countries!!! you have to search and research for the best opportunities available which would mean by the time you finally settle in you just might have missed those opportunities which would have be off benefits to you.\nAll I can say is welcome to the band wagon

UK universities work on a points system based on A-Level, BTEC, GNVQ, and other qualifications.\n\nO-levels were phased out of UK education in the 1980's.\n\nCheck out www.ucas.ac.uk for the points and course prospectus for each university.

First of all, it's Philippines. :] Well, good grades always count for a lot. But I doubt that there are a lot of scholarship opportunities here either. But try checking out the websites of Philippine universities and maybe there are some.

High quality education is available though different types of universities.  "Ivy League" are just expensive schools that have a history in America, JUST AS CAMBRIDGE AND OXFORD do in the UK.  Why does the UK have Cambridge and Oxford?  Same reason.  They're still more prestigious than some other schools, but that doesn't mean there aren't more outstanding universities outside the Ivy League system.  \n\nStandardized testing is generally just in high school, as a way for colleges to admit more qualified applicants.  Also...even schools not in the "Ivy League" consistently rank higher than many universities elsewhere in the world, and even many of the universities in America that we do not consider to be the greatest, rank much higher than other worldly institutions.  For example, Berkeley, or UC Berkeley as we know it, is a part of a system of 8 other schools apart of the University of California, which are not Ivy League schools, but still prestigious.

Well, in this country, not the government.\n\nIt's up to the Parents or the Student.  You can get a Scholarship, but it's through your Secondary School, and you would have to be top notch in the field you wish to study.  Also, there are student loans.

Usually a scholarship is given by a school (university).  You can take courses leading toward any degree.\n\nOther scholarships may be awarded by groups or organizations.  Each one will have its own requirements.\n\nCheck into all scholarships you may be eligible to obtain.  Good luck!!

I'm not really sure but from things I have heard there might be a little hard to find scholar ships in England by the way I think the best way to find your answers is from the international office of the universities on there websites and you should see each university individually because for example although must of them have there deadlines mainly in a specific period but there are nut exactly the same

Some Dude is correct.  The exception is Asians.  When considering applicants for university admissions, several points are *deducted* from Asians' scores -- only because they're Asian!  Yet, many more times that number of points are ADDED to black applicants -- only because they're black!\n\nExcept for Asians, minorities are often favored, even at the expense of others.

This question is country-specific and university specific. But I would say its very competitive and they only give them out after one semester of exams and that the international student does very well (usually has to be top of class).\n\nUnless, you are an outstanding scholar in your own country who can win international scholarships like Rhodes, Fulbright, Commonwealth-based, government agency funded scholarships.\n\nDepends on your chosen area as well, with hard sciences and mathematics dominating the funding areas.

Most of the time the scholarship is a reward for an achievement of some kind.  One might push themself harder to obtain one.  Scholarships are important to help you get into a college that you might not otherwise have the financial means to.  Any money that you do not have to pay is a good thing, it really helps out a lot.
