Things to Consider When Applying for Scholarships

Foreign universities are opening gates for international students. It is the right time to apply for scholarship programs and book a seat with low tuition fees or free charges. But, before applying for scholarships, here are a few things that you must consider:

Eligibility criteria

Make sure to check the selected university’s eligibility requirements before applying. As in some colleges, students pursuing their first MBA are only eligible for the scholarship. Similarly, in some colleges, the ones who have completed their first MBA are eligible to apply for the scholarship. Hence, take a look at the requirements and eligibility criteria before applying.

Location

The location also matters as a few scholarships are available in a specific country or city. For instance, let’s talk about the Oxford Pershing Square Scholarship. Do you know students pursuing an MBA at Oxford University in the United Kingdom are only eligible for this scholarship? Hence, cross-check the university’s location before applying.

Duration

You must also check the duration of the scholarship before applying. There are different scholarship programs provided by the universities. Hence, do not miss out on the duration of your selected scholarship.

Multiple scholarship application

A few countries provide the option to apply for more than one scholarship simultaneously. Hence, your chances of receiving a single scholarship from any of the universities are high. Make sure you are ready with all your documents, academic transcripts, and reference letters.

Maintain a good GPA

It is important to maintain a good GPA if planning to study abroad or in India. A good score increases your chance of receiving a scholarship. It will also open gates for various universities and scholarship programs.

Lastly, remember if you have exceeded the deadline and, in any way, are not eligible for the scholarship, feel free to send a personalized e-mail to the university stating your concern.
