List of Helpful Items Needed To Apply For International Scholarships

Scholarships are very important for the financing of your studies, especially if the source of finance is not available.  It also enables full concentration on achieving stated goals of getting a degree in a course of you choice instead of worrying about money issues.  In this write up, we will highlight some list of helpful items needed to apply for scholarships.

Before you start preparing your application make sure that you have chosen the right scholarship.  Ask yourself Do you match all the eligibility requirements? Carefully check all the scholarship information provided on, but also visit the website of the scholarship provider. Also, ask yourself if you match the profile? Since you will be investing a lot of time in the application and you will need to make it your priority.

Immediately you have ensured that you have picked the right Scholarship, the time has come to set up your application. More often than not you will need to prepare the following documents:

1. Previous Education Certificates (first degree, school leaving exams etc.)
2. Transcripts
3. Form of Valid ID (International Passport Preferred)
4. Letters of recommendation (work/academic)
5. Language certificate (e.g. TOEFL, IELTS etc)
6. Motivation letter
7. Curriculum Vitae (Resume)

·       You sometimes need to provide examples of your past work (an essay, projects, thesis etc.)

Ensure that all of the documents necessary to apply for the scholarship are in order and available before you start to apply to avoid going back to them after applying.  Also, start early in good time which will give you the opportunity to make your application stand out and you will not have to rush with the deadline. Make sure the application forms are filled in neatly and that nothing is missing. Make sure there are hard copies of every document you are sending, because if anything goes missing you won’t want to start all over again.

Hope this helps you prepare and apply for your scholarship of choice in your dream institution.

Good Luck!!!
