What each one pays is quoted below from its official page; check your nationality before you apply.
What does "fully funded" mean here?
That the scholarship’s official page says it pays tuition or fees and a monthly allowance or living costs. We quote that text for each one; some add flights, insurance or settling-in money, others do not.
Do I need an agent to apply?
No. You apply to the government or university directly, on the official page linked from each scheme; no government scholarship asks for a fee to apply.
