I'm planning to pursue my bachelor's degree abroad and looking for scholarship opportunities for international students. Does anyone know of any programs or have advice on where to find reliable information?
Finding scholarship opportunities as an international student can be a bit of a challenge, but there are a number of resources available.
A good first step is to check out the scholarship page on the website of the universities you're interested in. Many universities offer merit-based scholarships, and these can often be applied to by international students.
Another option is to look at databases specifically designed for international students. One of these is Appily, which has a range of scholarships, including those specifically for international students.
Also, consider organizations and foundations in your home country that might provide scholarships for study abroad. These are sometimes geared towards certain fields or programs, so do some research based on your desired area of study.
Moreover, consider looking into government aid. Some countries offer scholarships to citizens wishing to study abroad.
Lastly, a number of international organizations offer scholarships. For example, Rotary International provides scholarships for undergraduate and graduate level study, and the United Nations has a list of scholarships available to international students.
It takes some dedicated searching, and the application process can be rigorous, but there are certainly opportunities out there to help defray the cost of studying abroad. Good luck in your search!
