Questions students ask about scholarships
Answered from what this catalogue actually holds.
72 scholarships in total — 1,389 private, 1,093 government, 360 international, 328 need. 19 of them are still open for applications today.
19 scholarships have a deadline that has not yet passed. Sort or filter by deadline to see them first — a scholarship whose date has gone is kept on the site for reference, because the same scheme usually reopens the following year.
Yes — 2,207 for all, 511 for undergraduate, 393 for postgraduate, 249 for phd, 186 for diploma. Those marked "all" are open to any level, so filter by your level to see both.
No. A genuine scholarship never charges an application fee. Every listing here links to the provider's own official page — apply there, and treat any site asking for payment to "process" a scholarship as fraudulent.
Often yes, but it depends on each scheme's terms. Government schemes usually bar you from holding a second government award at the same time, while private and institutional awards are frequently allowed alongside them. Check the eligibility section of each scholarship before applying to both.
