For students studying abroad, “money” will always be an inevitable topic, especially in recent years, the cost of studying abroad is rising! To reduce the economic pressure of studying abroad, applying for scholarships is definitely a super right choice! Universities will reward different types of scholarships according to different situations of students, and scholarships can not only serve as your living expenses but also serve as extra points for future job hunting!
Come on, have you ever thought about applying for a scholarship? If you’ve ever thought about it and don’t know where to start, here’s a summary of some things you should pay attention to before applying for scholarships for your reference!
- Prepare the documents to be submitted for scholarship application as soon as possible.
When applying for scholarships, students can first visit the websites of relevant universities or directly find AUG to understand the application criteria and requirements of various scholarships. Once you find a suitable scholarship program, you should start to collect the documents to be submitted, such as pre-test scores, university admission notices, financial status, extracurricular academic activities, etc. The most important thing is to pay attention to the deadline. Once you miss the deadline, you will be ignored!
- Types of scholarships.
There are many kinds of scholarships, and different scholarships will have different application terms. Before applying for any scholarship, students must read the terms carefully. Some scholarships are not all suitable for you. For example, some scholarships are only for liberal arts students, so students who study science do not need to apply. Most scholarships will depend on students’ needs and different courses.
- Achievements and contributions.
Some scholarships usually last only one year and need to be reapplied every year. However, some scholarships are based on continuous benefits. If they keep excellent grades and credits, are good academically, have no disciplinary actions, and are active in extracurricular activities, they can continue to enjoy the same treatment after the second year.
- University or college of choice.
Each scholarship option is different. Some scholarships require recipients to attend designated universities/colleges and study in designated departments. Therefore, recipients should consider carefully before making a final decision. If the school they apply for is not among their choice, they can choose to refuse to fund.
- Binding system/scholarship rules after completion of studies.
Each scholarship has a different binding system after completion of studies. Some scholarships have no binding system, while some scholarships require beneficiaries to serve relevant institutions for a period of time after completing their studies in domestic or foreign colleges. Everyone should know this clearly when signing the contract!
After reading the matters needing attention in applying for scholarships, have you made you feel more comfortable when you want to study abroad? Of course, different countries have different scholarship systems, and not everyone can apply for scholarships. It would be great if we could save tuition fees by applying for scholarships!
