Have you checked the university's website for information related to scholarships?

The majority of scholarships cover tuition fees only, leaving students to cover their own living costs. Check which scholarship you want to apply to and whether you are eligible or not.

Most universities have their own website and portal from where you can apply and check the general requirements and what type of scholarships they award.

You can even communicate with their administration department if you find something confusing.

Some of the documents required are copies of diplomas from your previous studies, academic Transcripts from your bachelor's studies, proof of language proficiency and your identification documents. You should check in detail about the document requirements from the university you are applying to.

There are lots of scholarship opportunities out there, all with different deadlines.

Remember a few things while applying for a scholarship; You shouldn’t have to pay for scholarships or for scholarship searches. School counselors and school financial aid offices can recommend reputable options. Some scholarships are very quick and easy to apply for. Others take a little more time. Meet all deadlines.
