One can visit the universities’ websites and get in touch with their admissions team to know the scholarship process.

Scholarship programs and exchange opportunities between countries make it feasible to study abroad for free. Many institutions and organizations provide scholarships for international students that cover tuition, living expenses, and even travel costs.

More and more students are exploring options to leave India to study abroad due to the increasing global opportunities and exposure available in foreign universities. Another significant advantage is that most countries allow students to work while studying, allowing them to earn money while studying. However, the expense of foreign education is rising, and studying abroad may not be a viable option for all Indian students.

If studying at a foreign university is your dream and you are short of funds, there are ways and means to accomplish it.

You can start looking for grants and scholarships that many universities, charities, foundations, and government agencies offer. Thousands of overseas students are assisted with tuition and living expenses each year by universities, charities, foundations, and government agencies. You need not repay the scholarships, unlike student loans.

One can visit the universities’ websites and get in touch with their admissions team to know the scholarship process. However, because there are so many applications and so few scholarships available, it is quite challenging to get a fully financed scholarship.

In some cases, if a student’s profile satisfies more than half of the requirements set forth by the university, they are automatically given consideration for a scholarship.

In addition, there are nations where students can pursue an international education for nothing or at a very minimal cost. Germany is one of the greatest places to study abroad because it provides a rare combination of excellent educational institutions and a high standard of living that rivals that of other well-known locations like the United Kingdom or Holland. In addition to having some of the top colleges in the world, Germany also offers free education. In Germany, public colleges typically offer free tuition. There are more than 1,000 study options available at Germany’s nearly 300 public universities.

Education opportunities in community colleges in the state of Massachusetts, USA

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey on Thursday visited MassBay Community College to celebrate the launch of a new program that makes community college free for residents over age 25.

The program, called MassReconnect, was part of Healey’s inauguration speech and her first budget proposal. The budget, which was signed into law earlier this month, includes $20 million for the first year of implementation.

Each of the state’s 15 community colleges is also receiving $100,000 to help launch the program.

“This is a long-term investment not just in these students, ultimately, that redounds to the benefit of their families. But it also is about an investment in our state,” Healey said.

Potential students still have time to enroll in MassReconnect for the fall semester. To qualify, students who have not previously earned a college degree need to enroll in at least six credits per semester in an approved program of study leading toward an associate degree or certificate and complete the Free Application for Student Aid.

MassReconnect is expected to support between 6,500 and 8,000 students during the first year and up to 10,000 during the second year, Healey’s office said.

“MassReconnect will be transformative for thousands of students, for our amazing community colleges, and for our economy,” said Healey. “It will bolster the role of community colleges as economic drivers in our state and help us better meet the needs of businesses to find qualified, well-trained workers. We can also make progress in breaking cycles of intergenerational poverty by helping residents complete their higher education credentials so they can attain good jobs and build a career path. Our administration is grateful for the partnership of the Legislature to move forward on this critical program that will make our state more affordable, competitive and equitable.”

Applications Open: New Voices in Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine – Application deadline is 10 August 2023
