How to get a grant or scholarship to study?

Obtaining a scholarship to study abroad requires dedication and certain achievements from applicants. Most often, such scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate high academic results, participate in international and national competitions, and have certain scientific or professional achievements. There are several types of scholarships:

- Scholarships from universities: intended for active and talented students;

- Government scholarships: for example, the Fulbright Scholar Program in the United States, Chevening Scholarships in the United Kingdom, or the Endeavour Leadership Program in Australia;

- Scholarships from private organizations: funded by foundations or associations;

- Sports scholarships: awarded to students for outstanding achievements in sports.

Scholarship requirements may vary depending on the organization that provides it. In addition to educational documents, you may be required to provide certificates of foreign language proficiency, a motivation letter, resume, publications in scientific journals, a portfolio of work, or a GMAT certificate.

It is also important to note that many universities offer internal scholarships and partnership programs in addition to grants. They are usually targeted at highly specialized specialists or graduate students, which opens up additional opportunities for financing study abroad.
