Types of Scholarships available for international students

 

An international scholarship, as the name suggests, is a financial award available to students who are not citizens of the country in which they are studying. Funds awarded to successful applicants are used to pay educational and/or living expenses.

 

It can be full or partial funding as the case may be. In full scholarships, the student receives all the money they need to cover their tuition and living expenses. Partial scholarships give students a percentage of the money they need.

Merit scholarships are awarded to students based on their academic or other achievements. Often, the selection committee will look for students who have shown potential in their chosen field of study.

 

2. Need-based scholarships

These scholarships are awarded to students who can demonstrate that they need financial assistance to attend university. The selection committee decides how much money each student needs, and bases the scholarship on that amount.

These scholarships are offered to students who wish to study in a particular field of work after graduation. For example, there may be scholarships available for students who want to become doctors, lawyers, or engineers. These types of scholarships are usually very competitive.

4. University-specific scholarships

Scholarships are also available to students at particular universities or in particular fields of study. These awards are usually given by private companies in the university's field of business, industry, etc. Such awards can be vital for international students who may not have many other scholarship options.

 

5. Government-specific scholarships

These scholarships are funded by national governments and international organizations such as the United Nations. They can be instrumental in helping students study at universities around the world.

 

6. Location-based Scholarships

Location-based scholarships are one of the most famous scholarships among international students. They are usually restricted to students who wish to study in a particular region, such as Europe or South America.
