Application planning

10 steps to strengthen your application

01

Start early

Scholarship programmes may open at specific times of the year. Follow deadlines and prepare your documents before the last day.

02

Focus on suitable programmes

Review education level, subject, achievement, financial need and other conditions. Focus on scholarships for which you are eligible.

03

Read the conditions

The amount, duration, continuation requirements and obligations set by an institution may differ by programme. Read all descriptions carefully.

04

Plan your budget

Review your education, housing, transport and daily needs. Consider a scholarship as support that can help meet those needs.

05

Present yourself accurately

Describe your achievements, goals, activities and financial need clearly, briefly and truthfully.

06

Prepare your documents

Make sure that student certificates, transcripts and other requested documents are current, legible and correctly prepared.

07

Check your form

Review contact, education, family, social and other requested details before submitting. Do not provide misleading information.

08

Do not miss deadlines

Add deadlines to your calendar. Many programmes do not accept new applications after the deadline.

09

Protect your documents

Keep current copies of application documents in a secure place and do not leave personal files open on shared devices.

10

Track the process

Not every application will have a positive result. Regularly check your account for status updates and institution requests.
