Budget what the scholarship leaves outCompare two countries

What to do next

  1. Choose your nationality in the finder: only schemes your passport can apply for.
  2. Note the deadlines closing soon: most government schemes open once a year.
  3. Budget for what the scholarship does not cover: flights, deposits and the visa money test.
  4. Check the visa money for that country: some schemes count, some do not.
  5. Plan for a January start if you missed September: where spring intakes still exist.
