To get a study abroad scholarships, it is not necessary to be a genius. But, by the time you submit your application, you should have a set of specific skills, experience, and knowledge to characterize you as a capable and promising student (study better than 90% of students).

You must have a high average academic score, excellent knowledge of English and optionally another language of instruction. Also, welcome experience in the specialty, participation in conferences, publications, other successful extracurricular activities- all this, and even knowledge of the language can be obtained in a year or even with a strong desire in six months. However, it is worth considering that grants are given not only to excellent students or super specialists with extensive experience. Foundations pursue a variety of goals: from helping the poor to maintaining certain professions.

Duration of scholarships and grants

The smallest term for a grant for training is a few weeks or months (internship); the longest – from one to three years. In this case, the allocated amount of funding is issued in parts.

It should be kept in mind that the grant cannot be postponed or transferred, it is issued for a certain period of study. The exception is the program of grants with a year-long preparation for admission, as well as the possibility of studying in language courses for free. In this case, the grant takes effect after the training program.

It is important to take into account that if during the year you did not use the grant, the foundation holds a competition to search for other candidates, in which you can also participate, but on a general basis.

How to get a grant or scholarship to study?

First, you need to decide on the country, academic program, and university. Then read the detailed description of the selected program. Due attention should be paid to the content of the program, the number of European educational loans required, the deadlines for applying and the required documents, as well as the amount necessary to pay for tuition. This is very important information. It will allow to determine the program of training and search for targeted funds to cover costs.

Where can I find information about scholarships?

When self-searching, you must visit the websites of universities that you are considering for admission.

If universities do not provide financial assistance, then you should pay attention to the websites of the government or other state authorities of the country in which you intend to undergo training. As a rule, the funds established by the government allocate considerable funds to attract students from abroad to study in their country.

According to the level of education, grants are allocated for obtaining the degree of bachelor, master, and doctor. It is worth noting that if the scholarships allocated to pay for Undergraduate programs are designed only for 1 year to cover the cost of education, funds for training in Post-graduate programs usually allocate funds to cover the entire period of study (up to 3 years). Depending on the age of the candidate, it is worth considering the opportunity and the chances of receiving the grant (the older the candidate, the less chance of receiving funding). For example, the preferred age for a master’s degree is up to 35-40 years.
