International fee-paying students find it difficult to pursue post-graduate studies in the United Kingdom. Nonetheless, the GCU Post-graduate Ambassadors Scholarship is sufficient to cover my tuition fees for the duration of my studies at GCU. This has alleviated the financial burden of completing my master's degree and paved the way for my academic excellence, career, and research. I am now able to concentrate more on academic success and volunteer work.
