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.

Here are some exclusive study abroad scholarships for Filipino students:

  • Academic scholarships: Students can get scholarships based on their scores in  competitive exams. If you are a high-achiever with exemplary scores in your GRE or SATs and have an impeccable academic record, then this scholarship is for you. These scholarships are generous and cover a variety of things like tuition, accomodation, and, some may even provide a generous stipend for expenses. 
  • Community service scholarships - If you wish to get a scholarship to study abroad but lack the required grades,  don't worry, because you can apply for community service scholarships. A student who has volunteer experience in community projects can apply for community service scholarships. A little research about these organisations will help you find out more and apply for the same. 
  • Athletic scholarships: Students with exemplary performance in sports can apply for athletic scholarships. To apply for an athletic scholarship, you need to be a sports ambassador.
