scholarships offered directly from a university, requirements for external scholarships vary.


The Process


Applying often involves filling out an application form about your details – including your chosen degree course, fee status (EU or Overseas), grades, work experience and financial circumstances. There may also be a section where you write about what you intend to spend the scholarship on, why you wish to study abroad at that particular university and why you think you deserve the scholarship. These


can range from a couple of paragraphs to an essay, so make sure every word counts!


References Your application may have to be supported by at least one reference – usually an academic reference (e.g. a teacher, academic advisor) who can testify that you can excel academically. The application may also ask for a professional reference (e.g. an employer) or even a personal reference. This is usually written by someone who is not related to you, but can write about the type of person you are. It is advisable


to choose someone who knows you well and thinks you are a credible candidate, as they may be expected to write about personal issues relating to your financial circumstances. Make sure they know about the guidelines for writing the reference, which should be detailed on the university website.


Some scholarships require you to download an application form and then send it off. Others require to you to send an email first. To maximise your chances being awarded a scholarship, apply as early as
