Scholarships for international diploma holders?

Hi, I'm finishing my diploma and looking into studying abroad. I'm curious if there are any scholarships available specifically for international students with a diploma. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hello! Congratulations on pursuing further studies abroad. There are indeed scholarships available that specifically cater to international students.

One approach is to look at the school you're interested in as many universities offer their own scholarships for international students. For example, some U.S. institutions may have a separate application process for international applicants or they might automatically consider the applicant for scholarships based on their application.

Another source of scholarships could be external organizations that provide funding to international students. Here are a few examples:

1. Fulbright Foreign Student Program: This program provides scholarships for graduate students, young professionals, and artists from abroad to study, conduct research, and/or teach their native language in the U.S.

2. Rotary International Scholarships: Many local Rotary clubs and the Rotary International Foundation offer scholarships for both undergraduate and graduate study. The scholarships are commonly for students studying subjects that align with Rotary's areas of focus.

3. Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship Programme: This program provides scholarships to postgraduate students from select developing countries who have no other means of financing their studies. Scholarships are awarded on a 50% grant, 50% loan basis.

4. Joint Japan/World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program: This program provides scholarships to professionals from developing countries to pursue graduate studies in development-related fields at selected universities around the world.

Remember that the scholarships available and the process to apply can vary greatly, so it's essential to thoroughly research each opportunity and ensure you meet all eligibility and application requirements. It's also important to start your research early as application deadlines differ and can often be many months before the start of the academic year. Good luck with your journey!
