Before you apply
Scholarships are competitive: meeting the eligibility rules does not guarantee an award. Always confirm the details and dates on the official website before applying.
- Check who can apply: nationality, residency and the level you will study.
- Check whether you need a university offer before applying, or apply for the scholarship first.
- Compare what each award covers: tuition, living costs, travel, insurance and accommodation are listed separately.
- Note the deadline and prepare documents early; many programmes ask for references and a personal statement.
Frequently asked questions
Can I apply for a scholarship before university admission?
It depends on the scholarship. Some need an offer from an eligible university first, some are applied for separately (sometimes before you have applied to a university), and some are awarded automatically through the university application. Each scholarship page says which applies, where the official source states it. Among the scholarships on this page: Scholarship application first: 1.
Can I apply for more than one scholarship?
Usually you can apply to several, but some scholarships cannot be held together with other funding. Check the conditions on each scholarship page and on the official website.
