How do you get a scholarship to study abroad? 

Updated on Nov 25, 2025

Edvoy can guide you on scholarships, but we don't provide them directly. 
And just a heads-up, scholarships typically won't cover your living expenses.

Getting a scholarship to study abroad can be a great way to fund your education and achieve your academic goals.

Here are some general steps to help you get a scholarship:

  • Research scholarship options - There are many different types of scholarships available for studying abroad, such as merit-based, need-based, and program-specific scholarships. Research the scholarships that are available in your field of study and the country you want to study in.
  • Check eligibility criteria - Check the eligibility criteria for each scholarship carefully to see if you meet the requirements. Some scholarships may have specific criteria such as academic performance, language proficiency, or work experience.
  • Prepare your application materials - Once you have identified the scholarships you are interested in, prepare your application materials carefully. This may include transcripts, essays, reference letters, and standardised test scores.
  • Submit your application - Submit your application by the deadline and make sure you follow all the instructions carefully. Some scholarships may require additional information or interviews.
  • Follow up - After submitting your application, follow up with the scholarship provider to ensure that they have received it and to check on the status of your application.
  • Consider other funding options - In addition to scholarships, there are other ways to fund your education abroad, such as student loans, grants, and work-study programs. Consider all the options available to you and weigh the pros and cons of each.
