Top 10 Secrets To Easily Win Any Scholarship

There are many scholarships available, and not all of them require you to prove you’re the most academically gifted person on earth. But they are incredibly competitive. So how do you make sure you get the scholarship or bursary you deserve?

1. You usually can’t apply for a scholarship until you have been accepted into the course

This may seem like it’s the wrong way around, but you do need to know you can pay your tuition fees and travel expenses without a scholarship. That way, if you do win a grant, you can pay back your local bank loan or have a bit of extra spending money.

As an international student, I do advise you to go ahead and apply for admission into the university offering the scholarship. Admissions are far easier to get in some developed countries compared with some developing countries.

You may want to know why scholarship providers demand that you get admitted before they offer you a scholarship, this is why: they do not want to offer a scholarship to someone and at the end of the day, the person doesn’t meet up with admission requirements and is screened out.

2. Not all scholarships covers everything

Repeat after me… you can’t study for free. You must put an effort.

Some scholarships like the DAAD scholarship which is fully funded will still demand you to pay your flight fee to your country of study after which they may refund you the travel fare. They do this because some people after getting the transport fare will purposely decide not to go for the scholarship again and pocket the transport money, this is why you need to show seriousness by coming over to the country first.

3. Look beyond your university

You can find a complete list of scholarships on many websites, including those awarded by private foundations (such as a Fulbright Scholarship), or government bodies in the host country (such as the British Council) or your own country (such as the Department of Education). Check carefully to see if you’re eligible – many have nationality, course or age restrictions.

4. Every little bit helps

Even if it’s just a small grant towards the cost of your books, it’s worth taking the time to apply. It’s one less thing to worry about when you get there!

5. Apply for as many as you can

Yes, it takes time. But it’s free money! So make a list of all the scholarships you are eligible for. Double-check you have all the right documents to prove your case and get someone to read over your supporting essay or letter. It’s always good to get another point of view.

6. Be confident

If the application requires a letter or essay explaining why you deserve the scholarship, don’t be shy. List all your relevant achievements – not just academic results but also community work, career experience and awards.

7. Avoid scholarship scams

There is no such thing as a ‘guaranteed scholarship’. You should never have to pay an application fee for a scholarship. Unfortunately, some dodgy scholarship companies will just take your money and disappear.

StudyAbroadNations will never demand any fee to help you with any scholarship application. We provide our services free of charge and it will always remain so.

We will soon be hosting free scholarship webinar on our telegram group, many participants of that seminar will learn ideas that can win them scholarships in the next year. Make sure you are part of these webinars, join our telegram group and that is all.

8. Allow plenty of time

You need to think about your finances at least 18 months before you hope to start your course. But once you have been accepted onto the course, you may only have a short window of time where you can apply for a course-specific scholarship. So don’t miss your deadline; keep in touch with your counsellor and with the University’s international office.

You also have to understand that it is not every scholarship that you apply for that is going to be successful but if you are serious about winning scholarships, you will always be in search of scholarships and apply for any single one you can. Do not count how many, just keep applying. This is a top-secret to winning scholarships, hold unto it.

9. Keep a record of all the documents

You need proof of funds to get your visa sorted, and that includes the scholarship offer or agreement. We also guide applicants on how to get student visas but first, win the scholarship!

10. Have a backup plan

Don’t despair if all those applications come to nothing. There are other ways to finance your education. Student loans, help from your friends and family, and company sponsorships are worth looking into as well.
