Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about scholarships, eligibility, and our guidance process.

How many scholarships should I apply for?

We recommend applying for 15-25 scholarships to maximize chances. Most students get multiple offers (3-5 on average) with varied funding levels.

Do I need to be a top student to get scholarships?

Not necessarily. While academic merit scholarships require strong grades, many scholarships focus on need, specific fields, demographics, or unique talents.

When should I start searching for scholarships?

Start 9-12 months before university enrollment. This allows time for application, selection process, and award notification.

Can I combine multiple scholarships?

Yes, most universities allow combining university scholarships with external awards. Some have restrictions - we help navigate these.

What if I don't have a high GPA?

Many scholarships emphasize need-based awards, specific fields, or personal achievements over GPA. We help identify these opportunities.

Are there scholarships for international students?

Absolutely. Government scholarships (Fulbright, Chevening, DAAD), university scholarships, and international awards specifically support international students.

How much does scholarship application cost?

Most scholarships are FREE to apply for. We help identify legitimate opportunities and avoid scams. Our guidance service is separate paid support.

Can I apply after I've been accepted?

Yes, but applying before acceptance is stronger. Some scholarships require admission; we help identify both pre and post-admission options.
