SCHOLARSHIPS FOR
INTERNATIONAL STUDY By Jessica Luong
There are a variety of scholarships offered to widen your opportunity to study internationally. You can check which scholarships you’re eligible to apply for on websites which search for scholarships, through external organisations, but mainly through university websites. Information about scholarships is usually under the financial or admissions section of the website. Scholarships vary in value and eligibility criteria.
Types of Scholarships Scholarships can be put into two broad categories; merit-based and needs-based.
Merit-based: usually based on someone’s academic record; sometimes the scholarship will ask for a specific grade to be achieved. There are also scholarships offered for people who partake in certain activities such as sports or help out in their local community.
Needs-based: often based on financial situation, or are offered to encourage people of minority groups to apply. You may have
to give details on your household income and if you receive any other financial aid.
University Offered
Scholarships are also available based on the subject/department (e.g. scholarships for people studying science subjects) or the geographical region. This means that universities offer scholarships to people from a certain country or region of the world. This aims to attract as many different types of students as possible. Such scholarships can be needs-based or merit-based; or both. Along with scholarships, universities
may offer bursary or grant schemes to reduce your tuition or accommodation fees.
External Scholarships
Some organisations (independent from the university – such as a charity which promotes a certain subject) offer scholarships. You can apply for such scholarships directly from the organisation’s website, but external scholarships may also be listed on the university’s website. Examples of organisations which offer scholarships for international students include The British Council and CISabroad. Just like
