威尔士多所大学最近公布了其2009-2010年度的奖学金计划，这些学校将为国际学生提供总额高达1700万英磅的奖学金。
除了针对商学院以及计算机，国际政治，数学，物理等专业的研究生设立奖学金以外, Aberystwyth 大学还将为优秀的国际学生单独设立奖学金。Bangor 大学为了纪念建校125周年，也启动了其新学年的奖学金计划，任何专业的国际学生都将有机会分享总额达500万英磅的奖学金。
威尔士的知名学府卡迪夫大学不仅为工商管理，公共关系，心理学，法律，工程等多个专业提供奖学金,还与基金会等机构联合推出针对博士后及访问学者的定向资助。
外部奖学金也是高校奖学金的重要来源。最近，在Swansea 大学就读管理学的一名中国学生因成绩优异，取得了攻读博士的机会，同时被授予高达4万英镑的全奖,。这笔高额全奖就是由一家国际知名的金融机构提供的。相比其他大学，Glyndwr 大学的做法独树一帜且称得上”非常慷慨”，该校欲免除所有国际学生第一年的住宿费。这也是相当可观的一笔费用了！
据称，现在共有约10000名全日制的国际学生在威尔士就读，这比去年增加了大约19%。当地高校承诺今后将继续增加在国际学生奖学金方面的投入,以吸引全球最优秀的学生到威尔士留学。
