Stage 4 · Lesson 2 of 7
Fully funded scholarships, realistically
Big government scholarships fund a small share of applicants each year. Examples are Chevening, , DAAD programmes, Erasmus Mundus, MEXT and Australia Awards. Each has strict eligibility rules.
These cover nationality, degree dates, sometimes years of work experience, and often a : a promise to go back home for a period after you finish. Read the official eligibility page line by line. Note the deadline, which is often a year before you would travel.

Common trappaying anyone who promises to secure a scholarship, because official scholarships never require a fee to an agent.
