Planning to study abroad? Then you already know that tuition fees and living costs can quickly add up to a large budget for your education. Luckily, scholarships provide the essential financial support that so many students need.

In this article, you’ll find answers to the following questions:

  • What is a scholarship, and how is it different from grants and student loans?
  • Who can apply for a scholarship?
  • How can you apply for a scholarship?
  • How to find study abroad scholarships?
  • What types of scholarships are out there?

What is a scholarship?

According to the Cambridge dictionary, a scholarship is “an amount of money given by a school, college, university, or other organisation to pay for the studies of a person with great ability but little money.” I will add that some scholarships are more flexible, allowing all students to apply regardless of their academic abilities or finances.

Differences between scholarships and grants

Both scholarships and grants are types of gift aid, which means students do not need to pay the money back. But grants are usually need-based, and often go to young people who cannot afford the costs of their studies. In contrast, most scholarships are awarded based on academic, athletic, or artistic abilities.

Differences between scholarships and student loans

Unlike scholarships, student loans are a form of financial aid that needs to be paid back, sometimes with interest. Student loans can be both a blessing and a curse in disguise. In the US, for example, student loan debt has reached an eye-watering 1.5 trillion USD in 2020.

Who can apply for scholarships?

Anyone who meets the application requirements can apply. Yes, it’s a ‘Captain Obvious’ answer, but different types of scholarships target different students. Always check if you can apply, if the scholarship application deadlines are up-to-date, and if the scholarship is open to national students, international students, or both.

These are some of the most common application requirements for scholarships:

  • registration or application form
  • letter of motivation or personal essay
  • letter of recommendation
  • letter of acceptance from an academic institution
  • proof of low income, official financial statements
  • proof of extraordinary academic or athletic achievement

How can you apply for a scholarship?

Once you’ve found a study abroad scholarship for which you can apply, start preparing your documents. A typical application process looks like this:

  1. Register for the scholarship, usually by completing an online application form.
  2. Check your inbox to make sure you’ve received the confirmation email.
  3. Write a personal statement or essay. There are enough models on the internet but remember to be original and impress through your unique experiences and ideas.
  4. Get official proof of your academic, athletic, or artistic achievements. Translate the documents if necessary — it usually is.
  5. Or get official proof of your low income or nationality (for region-based scholarships). Again, a translation might be necessary.
  6. Proofread all documents for errors and send them to the scholarship provider.
  7. Submit the acceptance letter from the university (or an official document from the university proving you’ve been accepted). You won’t receive the scholarship without confirming that you will actually begin studies.
  8. Wait for the results. If selected, congratulations, you’re a winner! Go ahead and throw a party but don’t spend all your scholarship money on it. Just kidding; the university or college usually receive the money directly to cover your tuition.
