Budget:
The entire grant would be allocated for the tuition fees of my PhD program.
As a Swiss National, I have overseas status at the University of Exeter. The overall fees per year amount to £22,600 (s. https://www.exeter.ac.uk/study/pg-research/funding/fees/) which converts into approx. $28,770. 
In addition, the living costs in Exeter amount to approx. £30,000 per year ($38,190).
Assuming the completion within 3 years, the total costs of the PhD are £157,800 ($200,900).
