When you come across a scholarship announcement, first check the official website of the institution or organisation offering it. Information shared elsewhere should be a starting point for your research.
Find out which programmes, intakes and applicants the scholarship covers. These limits determine whether you are eligible to apply.
Check exactly what the scholarship provides: all or part of the tuition fees, whether living or other expenses are included, and whether the award is for one year or several. Distinguish the advertised maximum from the amount you may actually receive.
Learn about the conditions for retaining the award and any associated responsibilities. For example, an institution may set academic or other requirements; each scholarship needs to be considered individually.
Finally, record the deadline, required documents and how the results will be communicated. Greatlink can help you review the information and organise your preparation.
