Tips to Help you Win Study Abroad Scholarships

[spoiler]

1. One scholarship, one application. Avoid the temptation to mass-apply for multiple scholarships. You need to create individualized, unique cover letters for each and every scholarship that you apply for. Sure, you can reuse certain content or rearrange your resume in similar ways, but in general, make sure your application is unique each and every time.

2. Describe your life after study abroad. Many students fail to recognize their semester or summer of studying abroad as a smaller piece to their life puzzle; however, life will go on after you return. How do you anticipate being different? How do you plan to incorporate the lessons you learn while abroad onto your university campus or into your life in your home communities? Educators geek out over students that are willing to discuss bigger picture connections.

3. Connect it to your heritage. If you are going to a region or continent that is linked to your family history, why not use your study abroad experience as a way to get better acquainted with your second, third, and fourth cousins? These experiences are once-in-a-lifetime and add unique depth to your overall time abroad. 

4. You don’t have to be a pro-athlete or star of the decathlon team. Let’s be honest: study abroad scholarship judges were probably not the end-all, be-all of their college campuses. Average joe’s are welcome. The key is to highlight your best qualities and demonstrate your passion for cross cultural interactions.

 

5. Apply for multiple scholarships. It may be hard to stomach, but don’t count on a single application to score a fully funded study abroad program. Apply early, and apply often. The more times you throw your name into the ringer, the more likely you are to score a sweet, sweet study abroad scholarship.

I had the JASSO for a while. It's a pretty sweet deal. Not enough to live on, but adds nicely if you have existing savings.

MEXT is much better tho. You can put away a chunk in savings every month.

Following this topic! I always dreamed of studying abroad but never had the guts to pull the trigger.

[ETB5]

Best thread I've seen in a while. Thank you:))

[kookeclipse]

Not sure if they have it for college students, but for my fellow high schoolers; there's a program called CIEE, I'd recommend checking out their High School Summer Abroad Program (they have other programs too but I know the most about this one haha)

 

. There's scholarships available, they range from 10-100% of the tuition! I myself was lucky enough to get a full scholarship so I leave for Seville, Spain in two weeks and I'll stay there for a month. Definitely check it out if you're interested  :lol:

[Candykiss]

Thanks for this!

[okey dokey]

THANK YOUUU

Really? Nice! Tell us some tips about your application. :)

[dbellvm]

Really? Nice! Tell us some tips about your application. :)

 

it was actually very spontaneous but a bit complicated. basically, DSU nominated me as a student from their partner university (my home uni). the deadline was the beginning of june.

 

i had to send scanned versions of application for exchange students, medical check-up, personal statement, study plan, passport copy, transcripts from my uni validating my enrollment and displaying all my marks from all semesters. i also sent them a certificate of Korean language courses that i've attended. after they announced that i was selected, i had to prepare some more documents and make visa.

 

the only piece of advice i can really give to you is to write the personal statement as long as you can, write down the reasons you need to go to korea, what's your previous relationship with the country and so on. in the study plan, you just need to ground all your selected subjects. 

 

i cannot tell if the scholarship is enough to cover my expenses, since my exchange will only start in the end of the month. but basically the only thing that you need to pay completely by yourself is the dormitory fee.

[Gondry]

I'm thinking of studying abroad after getting my degree in dentistry , but it's so hard to find scholarships for that, and marks in my uni are generally low (the first in my class got a 13.89/20) so it'll be nearly impossible to get a scholarship

[loveuseutory]

Awesome list! I got a KGSP and I'm going to Korea for this autumn. Pretty excited

Wow congratulation!!  :stare:  :stare:

 

I was interested in KGSP before but i haven't take TOPIK and am too lazy to take it lol

[Infinity]

[dbellvm]

Wow congratulation!!  :stare:  :stare:

 

I was interested in KGSP before but i haven't take TOPIK and am too lazy to take it lol

you don't need a TOPIK score, actually they don't care about your Korean language skills, you might have zero knowledge on the language.

[xxxgingerxxx]
