Scholarship

Answer:

Good question. Let's clarify what “fully funded” really means when it comes to scholarships—and how to tell if a scholarship actually qualifies as fully funded.

✅ What “Fully Funded” Means:

A fully funded scholarship typically covers all major costs related to your studies:

1. Tuition fees – 100% of your academic program is paid for.
2. Living expenses – Monthly stipend for rent, food, transport, etc.
3. Travel costs – Usually round-trip airfare to the host country.
4. Health insurance – Coverage for medical needs during your studies.
5. Other academic costs – Sometimes includes books, research costs, or visa fees.

⚠️ Not All Scholarships Called “Fully Funded” Actually Are

Some scholarships only cover tuition or a portion of living costs. You must read the fine print of each scholarship offer or program description. Ask yourself:

• Does it cover everything or just some parts?
• Are there any conditions (like working as a teaching assistant)?
• Is the monthly stipend enough to live comfortably in the host country?

💡 How to Confirm If It’s Fully Funded:

1. Look at the official scholarship details (benefits or funding section).
2. Check for monthly allowance and whether housing and food are covered.
3. If you're unsure, contact the scholarship office or university directly and ask.

If you have a specific scholarship in mind (e.g. Erasmus, Chevening, Fulbright), I can tell you exactly what it covers and whether it's considered fully funded. Just name it!
