About International Scholarships

For some organizations, international scholarships have been categorized depending on the level of education of students that need them.

These categories include:
Undergraduate scholarships: this category is meant for students who are studying to get their first degree mainly in colleges.
Postgraduate scholarships: this category has to do with postgraduate students which include those studying for their Masters Degrees (MA, MSc) and doctoral degrees (PhD).
Non-degree: It is for scholarships that do not have any specification about the students that can apply for them.

Some other organizations have specific areas where they operate. They could focus on giving international scholarships to foreign students in a particular country, students in a continent (North America, Africa, Europe, Asia and others) or sometimes students of a particular country in different countries. In other cases it could be for students studying in a particular specialty or field.

When applying for international scholarships, there is something that is inevitable- competition. Many students apply for international scholarships so when applying, your application should be impressive but also true. Some of these international scholarships could be presented due to a good application or due to excellence in an academic competition held.

Most organizations require excellent academic records so it’ll be very good if your academic record is impressive; if not, there are other international scholarships that do not require academic records.
