  HI!
  
  You can apply to colleges through LearnHub. Do have a look at the programs – they are pretty interesting.
  
  For colleges in UK – have a look at the Study UK Community

  This Discussion involved MIT admissions, it may be of some help. Currently you cannot apply to MIT through LearnHub, so you would not be eligible for the $2000 scholarship, although you may still be able to win a prize. Good luck
