Scholarships Abroad for Filipino Students

It is a dream for many to study abroad, find a job and eventually settle down to raise a family. But, when you think of the mounting expenses, the dream does seem like a distant reality. The process to secure an admission to study abroad may seem to be a long drawn and expensive one but there are a lot of funding and scholarship options available to you as an international student. A scholarship may be need based and could cover your tuition and living expenses as well as a little stipend but, these may vary from one to the other. 

A scholarship is a gift aid, and a student does not have to pay the money back on completion of studies. There is a common misconception that scholarships are not available for international students. However, there are plenty of country-wise scholarships available for international students to study abroad. The key to getting a scholarship is to plan well in advance and apply on time.
