I'm planning to study somewhere in Europe and am curious about what scholarships are available for international students like me. Are there any specific countries or programs in Europe that are known for being generous with international scholarships?
European countries each have their unique scholarship offerings for international students. Many universities, governments, and private organizations offer scholarships based on merit, financial need, or specific fields of study.
In terms of countries, you might want to examine these:
- Germany: Education is mostly free even for international students. They also have the DAAD scholarship for international students pursuing a full degree.
- Netherlands: The popular scholarship option is the Holland Scholarship for bachelor's or master's degree.
- Sweden: Swedish Institute Scholarships could be an excellent choice for students from selected countries.
- France: They offer the Eiffel Excellence Scholarships for master’s and PhD degree students.
Additionally, the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Degrees, a prestigious, integrated, international study programme, is an opportunity to consider. It offers scholarships for select Masters courses, so it's worth investigating.
Moreover, individual universities like University College London, Cambridge, and University of Oxford have their own scholarships specifically for international students.
Remember that scholarship application often requires an additional application process and deadline, so do thorough research and start preparing your applications early. Good luck!
