I'm wondering if there are any international scholarships available for Bahamian students. I’m considering studying outside of the Bahamas and want to explore scholarship options that could lessen the financial burden. Any suggestions or experiences would be super appreciated!
Definitely, there are scholarship opportunities available for international students, including those from the Bahamas, who plan to study abroad. Here are a few you might find helpful:
