If you are hoping for a scholarship to help pay your studies, then plan to start making enquiries and applications at least a year in advance. Most scholarships are available for postgraduate study and for research although there are a few for undergraduate study. The chances of securing a scholarship or bursary or major funding after arrival in the chosen country is minimal. Scholarships & Financial aid fee waivers are awarded to international students on the basis of academic merit and the need of it.
All awards will be at the discretion of the Scholarship Committee of that institution. Candidate with strong academics, good performance on standardized exams & extracurricular achievements would be eligible for scholarship awards & financial assistance.
In addition to this the university considers all aspects of the application so the presentation of the application package is also important because one is judged by the image one projects.
Some Universities offer special Scholarship/Fee Waiver/Aid to students. Ask your counselor for the current list in various countries.
