Make sure you read the terms and conditions of those scholarships. For ex- Chevening scholarship bound you to return to your home country for 2 years post-graduation. Failing those terms will be bad for you.
Also if you have a work experience of more than 2 years. Only a few universities will offer you MiM. Do check that as well.
