Answer:

Great question! While each scholarship has its own specific criteria, most scholarship applications—especially for international students—require a combination of academic, personal, and sometimes financial documents. Here’s a breakdown of the common requirements:


1. Academic Transcripts

  • Copies of your school certificates, report cards, diplomas, or degree results.
  • If you're applying for a diploma or undergraduate course, you'll usually need high school results.
  • For postgraduate study, your university transcripts are required.

2. Proof of English Proficiency

  • If the course is taught in English, you may need to submit scores from:

    • IELTS
    • TOEFL
    • Duolingo English Test
    • Some universities accept a letter stating that your previous education was in English.

3. Recommendation Letters

  • 1–2 letters from teachers, professors, or employers who can speak about your character, academic performance, or work ethic.

4. Personal Statement or Motivation Letter

  • A well-written essay explaining:

    • Why you’re applying for the scholarship
    • Your background and achievements
    • Your goals and how the scholarship will help you reach them

5. Passport or ID

  • A valid copy of your passport (if applying internationally).
  • National ID may also be required for verification.

6. CV or Resume (Optional but Helpful)

  • Outlines your education, skills, achievements, volunteer work, or job experience.

7. Financial Documents (Sometimes)

  • Some scholarships ask for proof of financial need, such as:

    • Family income statements
    • Tax documents
    • Bank statements

8. Admission or Offer Letter (Sometimes)

  • For some scholarships, you need to first apply and be accepted by a university, then use your offer letter to apply for the scholarship.
