2. Financial need: The student must demonstrate a necessity for the scholarship to pursue further study.
The application requirements and process may vary depending on your country and the school you plan to attend, but in general, they typically include:
1. Application Form: Complete the scholarship application form which is usually found on their official website or at the financial aid office of partnering schools.
2. Academic Records: You'll have to provide a record of your academic achievement. This often includes transcripts from your high school or university studies.
3. Recommendation letters: Letters from professors or otherwise relevant individuals can be beneficial.
4. Personal Statement: A statement which outlines your academic objectives, career goals and why you believe you deserve the scholarship.
