Questions about funding
When should I start looking?
At the first meeting. The largest scholarships close before most course applications open.
Do you take a share of my scholarship?
Never. The scholarship search has a fixed price, whatever you win.
Can I combine scholarships?
Often, yes: a university discount and an outside award usually stack. We check the rules of each.
Is a loan possible instead?
Some home countries offer study loans for abroad. We explain the options; we do not arrange loans.
