The fees page says international scholarships are available for undergraduate and postgraduate applicants, but no amounts are published there.
Sri Lanka is on the eligible list for the York International Undergraduate Scholarship (£5,000 per year) and the York International Masters Scholarship (£5,000–£8,000 per year) for 2027/28. Achievement Scholarships of up to £10,000 (first year only) are open to all international UG and masters applicants.
International undergraduates at the York campus get a £1,000 first-year scholarship (not for one-year top-up degrees). For postgraduates the page points to external Chevening and Commonwealth scholarships plus alumni scholarships.
