Study Abroad Scholarships

include "left.php";

A wide range of scholarships, fellowships, and grants to study abroad are available from many different sources. Government funds, businesses, universities, and many independent organizations all offer different amounts and kinds of funds in order to support students interested in pursuing international education opportunities. For many students, a study abroad experience is only possible with financial assistance. Students should discuss all financial aid planning with their campus financial aid and study abroad advisor.Because of rising costs of college and university tuition, ever more students have to apply for scholarships to strengthen their financial support in  order to successfully complete their studies.
 

There is a multitude of scholarship and fellowship sources available from governments and private companies to non-profit organizations.The cost of attendance for your study abroad program is frequently one of the determining aspects of your financial aid package. This brings up an interesting related point. Many students automatically assume that it will be more expensive to study abroad than it would be to remain at their home institutions. No doubt the expense of plane tickets, additional insurance, necessary vaccinations, and other such costs do add up. However, what many students fail to account for is the lower tuition or cost of living in many potential study abroad destinations. While this may not be true of London or Tokyo, there are many excellent study abroad programs in places where the cost of living is low and tuition is either substantially less than that at US institutions or, in some countries, even non-existent.

The following is a description of four main  categories by which scholarship is compiled
  • Undergraduate Scholarship
    This category contains international scholarships for undergraduate and college levels. Undergraduate is the name given to students who are studying for their first degree.
  • Postgraduate Scholarship
    Postgraduate is the level of university degree beyond the undergraduate. The postgraduate degrees include masters (MA, MBA, MEd, MSc) and doctoral degrees, or PhD. In this category you will find scholarships for international students at the postgraduate level.
  • Postdoctoral Fellowship
    All offers for those beyond the doctoral or PhD level are grouped in this category. It may include postdoctoral positions and other academic related positions.
  • Nondegree
    The term ‘non-degree’ is used to group or categorize scholarship offers which originally do not have any information on the degree of education required. It includes summer school opportunities, academic awards, academic competitions, etc.

International Student Loan

However, studying abroad often requires financial assistance for extra expenses such as travel, accommodations and materials, which can make it a greater financial commitment. For the most part, students struggle to fund their international education. Scholarships and grants are always available, but if you are one of the lucky ones to receive one it will still not cover all your expenses. That is where an International Student Loan will help you.
