Finding the right scholarships that you are eligible for isn’t that easy. You’ve probably already experienced that. There are so many scholarships and they are spread over thousands and thousands of websites.
We are changing that. For you, so you can find the right scholarships to finance your future.
The application process for many scholarships takes quite a long time and application deadlines finish early. As soon as you know what you are going to study, you should start with the preparation straight away!
There are thousands of scholarships out there as well as other types of funding like grants, prizes, studentships, competitions, fellowships and many others! Luckily not all of them are just dependent on your grades. Do you come from a certain country? Do you study a specific subject? Are you a member of a religious organisation? All those factors can qualify you for a financial support for your studies! ScholarshipPortal can help you find a suitable scholarship for your needs.
Application
Before you start preparing your application make sure that you have chosen the right scholarship. Do you match all the eligibility requirements? Carefully check all the scholarship information provided on ScholarshipPortal.com, but also visit the website of the scholarship provider. Do you match the profile? You will be investing a lot of time in this application and you will want to prioritise.
If you have made sure you have picked the right scholarship, it is time to prepare your application. Most of the time you will need to prepare the following documents:
Certificates of your previous education (first degree, school leaving exams etc.)
Letters of recommendation (work/academic)
Language certificate (e.g. TOEFL, IELTS)
Motivation letter
Curriculum Vitae (resume)
You sometimes need to provide examples of your past work (an essay etc.)
Make sure all of the documents you need to apply for the scholarship are in order before you start to write. You won’t want to go back to them after writing your letter, only to discover you are missing an important document. Also, and we cannot stress this enough, start in plenty of time. This will give you the opportunity to make your letter stand out and you will not have to rush with the deadline. You also want to make sure the application forms are filled in neatly and that nothing is missing. Make sure there are hard copies of every document you are sending, because if anything goes missing you won’t want to start all over again.
