Scholarships

There are lots of companies and charitable organizations who offer scholarships and funding to students going abroad to study, but what about if you’re off on a work placement? You’ll no doubt be paid a salary of some kind, but more often than not it’s fairly low. Who do you turn to for a bit of extra money in this case? The answer, I found, was Leonardo. The Leonardo da Vinci program aims to promote availability and quality of training among the European member states, and improve the options for students wishing to take up work placements abroad. The scheme has been running since 1994 and is currently in its second phase, and over €1 ...  Read the complete review

as a graduate who accumulated debts of £10000 during my last degree and so far £6000 in this degree and I still have 3 years study left and 2 periods of elective study to complete, scholarships are a godsend! I will luckily graduate from uni straight into a full time job as most medical students are practically guaranteed to do, but I need the money now, not in 3 years when I am finished studying. My studies allow NO time for part time employment. shop around looking for scholarships and apply to every trust etc with whom you match ANY of their criteria, they can only say no and more often than not will actually say yes. Don't just submit an ...  Read the complete review

I am a Chinese student in the University of Sheffield, the tuition fee for international students are £9000/yr, how can I afford it? I got a scholorship worth £3000/yr, so it is much better for me now. The title for the scholarship is China Scholarship, it is one of the International Scholarships here, as I got some Maths prizes in China, I got it. For Home Students, the scholarship in my department is 1000 quids for excellent Academic results you get, quite a good figure anyway. Also, there are some scholarships in the school, but I m not sure how much, but I think different schools have different entries, so it is not that important to specify it. ...  Read the complete review

I had a look at this site after reading the reviews on dooyoo. I think it is a great idea in theory, but the freefund site nearly drove me around the bend. There isn't a simple search engine. The site uses the details you supplied to search for sources of funding. This must work really well if you are doing a run-of-the-mill course in a run-of-the-mill subject. When I registered I had to keep clicking the 'other areas of study' course as I am going to be taking a fairly specialised vocational course. The list of scholarships was therefore completely useless as they were covering such a wide range of subjects. I gave up after a while as I got so annoyed! Even ...  Read the complete review
