How to source for Scholarships

 

Schooling abroad has been the dream of so many young chaps, but the discouraging factor for some has always been funding.  Funding and scholarships should not be a problem if you know your way about it. Funding should not stop you from achieving your dreams of schooling in world class institutions.

There are so many ways to getting funding and scholarships, but unfortunately, the popular one known to students is scholarship. I will start with Scholarship today and take you round the other mediums in couple of days

 

1.       Scholarships:  

A sum of money or other aid granted to a student, because of merit, need, etc., to pursue his or her studies. (dictionary.reference.com). we have internal and external scholarships; i.e from the institution of learning and outside the institution of learning.

The internal scholarship is limited due to fundings, most times, they are part scholarships (eg. 20%, 50% etc) and like the other forms of scholarship, they are based on academic excellence.

The External scholarship are from Governments, professional institutions, NGOs and international organizations. They are usually full scholarship and based on a specific requirements (e.g Country specific, age bracket, etc ) and areas of disciplines.

General requirement for scholarship; please note that not all scholarship bodies ask for all of these, but some ask for at least a few of them

 

Letter of motivation, Letter of intent etc

Resume

Previous Academic Excellence

Previous work experience

Aptitude tests

Usefulness of intended course on your Home Country

Past academic publications

Proof of the need for the scholarship

Previous humanitarian work experience

IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, GMAT etc

 

The ability to present these requirements draw a line between getting and not getting the scholarship. Most importantly is your ability to convince the scholarship body through your interview or motivation letter. There are millions of sites that publish scholarships on a daily basis.
