Does the Council offer any financial assistance to overseas students going into further education?

Unfortunately Manchester City Council does not currently have any funding provision available to support students going into further education. If you are coming to the UK to study you should contact your college for help with funding as there are no national schemes available to overseas students.

Directgov offers some info for all areas, Home, EU, international students and asylum seekers and The British Council site has some useful info on funding and info on scholarships aimed at overseas students.
