Students looking at the option of the funding studies through scholarships should make preparations – i.e. enquiries and applications at least one year in advance.

The number of Scholarships available is very few and the candidates aspiring for it are many. So, the eligibility criteria are very strict. When applying for a scholarship following points should be borne in mind:
- You must apply for your scholarship at least one year before your course starts. Deadlines vary, so you must check that you know what the deadline is before applying.
- You should prepare your application very carefully using the correct application form and providing all the documents as per the checklist.
- The application should be clear and concise.
- Many of the grant-making bodies will only give small amounts of money, which would not cover the full cost of a course.
