Study Abroad Scholarship
Of the various kinds of financial aide available to foreign students studying abroad, the most desirable are scholarships. The reason is obvious: they do not have to be repaid.
The individuals and groups that establish scholarship funds do so for a wide variety of reasons. Most often, it is to recognise the recipient’s scholastic merit. However, other factors that qualify applicants for scholarships include intended field of study, country of origin and even such surprising things as physical disability. Donors generally wish to help students to whose needs they can relate directly.
The surprising thing is that, despite their clear advantage as a means of funding study abroad, thousands of scholarships go unclaimed – or even not applied for – every year. The reasons for this are many and not worth detailing here. The more relevant matter is how you can find out about scholarships that may be available to you.
