Scholarships
General Information
-
One of the most important tasks that faces us at the beginning of the school year is to find the right scholarship to help us get through the year. We want to help you find scholarships and you will find a list of scholarships available to you as International students below.
-
It is important to note that not only students with low socioeconomic status are eligible for scholarships, but there are actually many foundations and different criteria for scholarships. You can search for scholarships by country of origin, place of residence, social grants, research grants, veterans and others.
-
Once you found a matching scholarship you face the task of completing all the paperwork. It is of high importance that you fill out the application with full details, since otherwise your application will be rejected. The forms must be completed in an orderly and dignified way, filed on time and a completed list of contact details must be included- address, e - mail, telephone, and even fax number if (it would be a shame to miss a scholarship because you were not reached). It is recommended to attach a short letter in which you write a little bit about yourself and why you applied for the scholarship (a short and sweet letter).
-
Most important is: if your application was denied do not worry. You can apply to as many scholarships as you want and you will eventually find one that is a match for you.
