Hi, everyone. Yeah, I think it's working now. Hi, everyone. It's Global Scholarships, and I'm your host, Az
0:45
I hope you're all doing well. I hope everything is going great. And today we are here with another weekly livestream
0:51
I'm here joined by Eamon. Hi, Eamon. How are you? How are things going
0:56
Hi, Az. I'm doing well, thank you. How are you? Great. I'm fine
1:02
Thank you very much. So, everyone, if you're new here, we do this every Friday
1:06
We do a livestream. Basically, it's a Q&A, but we also go through a couple of
1:10
scholarship opportunities that we pick for today. And, like, we see our scholarships, but if at any
1:17
point you have any questions, they could be about anything, a specific scholarship or a school, or in general, like
1:25
maybe your specific situation about studying abroad. You can just ask them at any point if you feel like it
1:32
Other than that, this is our website, GlobalScholarships.com. So, if you don't know, we have a search tool
1:39
I really highly advise you to use this search tool if you're
1:43
interested in scholarships, scholarship opportunities, or studying abroad. It's GlobalScholarships.com. Let me just share the link
1:52
It's basically completely free, and you don't even have to create an account or anything
1:57
You can just go click on the link, go to our website. This is our homepage, right
2:01
And then come here and type in anything that you're interested in
2:06
Let's say maybe you want to study in Canada, right? Type in Canada, and yep, here it is
2:15
So, click on it, and it gives you all the scholarship opportunities that we have in our database
2:22
And then you can filter further if you want to see just
2:27
bachelor's degrees, PhD scholarships. Maybe you just want to see the full-funding scholarships
2:34
And then at any point, if you're interested in any of them
2:38
you can just click on that scholarship, and it will take you to our webpage of that scholarship
2:45
And as you can see, we have all the information here, like about the school, the funding, like what it covers, what are
2:52
the eligibility criteria. It just gives you pretty much all the information you need
2:57
about that scholarship. Basically, this tool takes you from the point zero, the
3:03
where you don't know what opportunities you have, and to the point of going to the university's website
3:11
So, you can get information directly from the university, if you want to contact them for the scholarship or whatever
3:19
So, yeah, this is it. It's a very good tool. Other than that, we have a YouTube channel
3:25
If you're interested in scholarship opportunities or studying abroad, we do share a lot of informative stuff on
3:32
there, too, if you're watching this on Facebook, of course. So, yeah, this is it
3:38
And now I'm going to start, like, we're going to start seeing our scholarships of today
3:44
But at any point, if you have any questions, just feel free
3:48
to ask them in the chat. Don't wait for me to finish, all right
3:52
Just ask them, and we'll do our best to answer them for you
3:56
Just, like, make sure that it's specific, like, detailed questions so we can help you better if they are too vague
4:06
Like, we may not have a lot to say about that. So, other than that, just ask them whenever you feel like it
4:14
And so I'm going to move on to our first scholarship of the day
4:19
right, which is financial aid at Stanford University. And this is for bachelors, but let me share the link first
4:30
So, yep, there it is. This is the link if you want to see for yourself
4:37
All right. It's full funding, meaning it covers more than tuition fees
4:42
There are no specific nationalities. There are no specific subjects for this one
4:47
It could be anything. Admission deadline is November the 1st. And as you can see, it covers up to full cost of studies
4:56
depending on the student's demonstrated financial needs. So what does that mean
5:01
Like, what is demonstrated need? Is that basically if you apply for financial aid
5:07
you give the school a lot of information about the financial situation of your family
5:14
Like, for example, your family income, like how much your, like, living costs, et cetera, and how much it's going to cost you
5:23
And then, like, basically the university can then estimate how much your family can contribute and how much additional financial
5:32
aid you need. So, and that, then university gives you an offer to cover
5:38
like, all of that. So that's what demonstrated need is. Basically, you give them information about your family's financial situation
5:48
There are no specific eligibility criteria for this one. You just need to be a student needing financial assistance for
5:55
your studies. Now, the university, there's not much to be said. It's Stanford
6:02
It's one of the best, like, highest-ranking universities in the world. As you can see, there are 17,000 students that earn that many scholarships
6:13
So if you want to study in Stanford, this is one opportunity that you
6:17
can use for financing it. We have more information here about the admission process deadline
6:26
And as you can see, the tuition fees are extremely high even for
6:30
America's standards, USA standards, $60,000 per year. So basically, if your family cannot cover this, financial aid can help
6:43
you cover these tuition fees. And the university, if you want to, like, if you don't know about
6:52
if you don't know anything about this university, you can see here
6:57
All right. Let's see where it is. Two, right. So here it is in San Francisco in the West Coast
7:08
And one thing to be said about this place is that it would be quite
7:12
expensive to live in other than also, like, high tuition fees. So this is the school
7:21
It's one of the highest ranking universities in the world. So very prestigious university
7:27
If you want to study in the United States, if you want to study in
7:31
Stanford University, like, you should have a plan for your financial needs, but this financial aid can cover pretty much everything that
7:43
your family cannot cover. And if you want to learn more about the scholarship, you can just come
7:49
here and under the eligibility criteria, you can just click on financial aid pages here, which will take you to the university's
7:56
page, basically. And you can get more information here, even though there isn't that
8:02
much to be said here either. One thing that is important is that international students who do not
8:09
request consideration for financial aid at the time they apply for admission will not be eligible to apply for aid at Stanford throughout
8:17
their undergraduate year. So basically, if you will need financial aid from the school, you need
8:24
to give them that information when you apply to the school for admission
8:30
You cannot then, like, you cannot just go to the university, be admitted, and then after that, tell them you need financial aid
8:38
So, yeah, that's basically it. Again, it covers everything that your family cannot contribute to your
8:45
financial needs. So that's basically it. Ayman, do you want to add anything about this one
8:54
Yeah, so basically, Stanford is known for being need-blind as far as
9:01
domestic students are concerned, which means U.S. citizens. As far as international students are concerned, their admission policy
9:11
is need-aware, which means that they may reject your application
9:20
because of your financial situation. But that also means that for certain applicants, they are ready to offer
9:27
financial aid. And this is one form of aid that they're willing to offer
9:35
Basically, they're ready to meet 100% of your demonstrated need based on your expected family contribution
9:43
So you just fill out certain applications about your financial situation, and then they go through that
9:53
And if they decide to admit you, they would meet any need you have
9:59
demonstrated that application. Yeah, so there's nothing more to that. So Stanford is a very well-known university, one of the highest
10:12
rankings in the world, as you mentioned. So I don't think that there's anything more we need to say
10:20
about this university. Yeah, thank you very much. Again, as we mentioned, this would be quite competitive
10:28
The school is already quite competitive to get in. And then the fact that you can get financial aid makes it even
10:37
more competitive. So keep that in mind, guys. Right now, I don't see any questions, comments
10:46
So again, if you have any questions, they don't have to be about this specific scholarship or this specific school
10:52
They could be about anything regarding your situation or what questions you have about studying abroad
11:00
It could be about anything related to studying abroad. Just feel free to ask them in the chat, and we'll do our best
11:07
to answer them for you. Now, the second scholarship of the day is Presidential Graduate
11:16
Fellowship Program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. And this is for – hang on, let me share the link first
11:24
Facebook and YouTube, right? There it is. So this is for masters and PhD students
11:34
It's full funding. As you can see, there are no specific nationalities or subjects
11:40
for this one. And the number of recipients is 120. Not that high, but also not that low either
11:48
And admission deadline is December 15th. So, yeah. What it covers is tuition fees, which we'll see is quite high
12:00
for this school. It covers monthly stipend, and it covers student insurance plan
12:05
for one academic year. And if you're interested in studying in the United States
12:11
you would know probably that health insurance can be quite expensive. Healthcare can be quite expensive, so health insurance is
12:20
really important in the United States. So, and eligibility criteria, you just need to be an
12:26
international masters and PhD student or applicant of Massachusetts Institute of Technology
12:31
That's pretty much it. There's no other additional criteria. So, the school, again, just like Stanford, not much to be said
12:44
It's like one of the best universities, if not the best in the world
12:49
So, it would be extremely competitive in the first place. But then to get also the scholarship, it would be even
12:55
more competitive. As you can see, we have more information here about the
13:01
admission process, about deadlines. And as you can see, also tuition fees here, extremely high
13:07
about $60,000. So, yeah. Again, the university, if you want to see where it is
13:17
it's, let's see, it's here in Boston. So, the other one was on the West Coast, and this is East Coast
13:31
Both places are extremely expensive, but this also doesn't cover, it gives you a stipend, but wanting to keep in mind
13:41
that where you would be staying and residing would be extremely expensive
13:47
So, there is a very good chance that that stipend will not
13:51
fully cover your financial needs to live here. So, yeah. This is the university
13:58
Again, one of the best universities in the world, if not the best
14:03
So, this is the school. And if you want to get more information about the
14:08
university, you can just click here, Presidential Graduate Fellowship Program pages to go to the universities page about
14:15
the scholarship, right? And again, as you can see, there isn't that much of
14:23
information here, like monthly stipend isn't specified, the number, not to exceed the approved science and
14:31
engineering doctoral or A salary rate. But what is it? We don't really know
14:38
The President Fellows are selected by the President and Provost from a pool of candidates nominated by the
14:43
school deans, as well as the heads of departments and interdisciplinary programs
14:48
So, you don't like, you don't really apply for this one. Not only just before being admitted to the university, but
14:56
even after that, you don't really apply. You are nominated by the school deans or heads of department
15:03
And then if you get the scholarship, it covers your tuition fees, gives you a stipend and gives you health
15:11
insurance for one academic year. Other than that, there is not much to be said here
15:19
Eamon, do you want to add anything about this one? Yeah, so, unlike Stanford, MIT is one of probably four or
15:35
five universities that are need line as far as international students are concerned, meaning that anyone
15:43
who applies to MIT would not be at a disadvantage because of
15:47
their financial situation, provided that you meet certain admission criteria. You have great extracurriculars
15:55
You have a great academic record. You will be admitted regardless of how much money you have
16:03
So they're ready to pay for everything. And not many U.S. universities can do that
16:12
I think, as I mentioned, maybe like four or five at most that
16:19
are need line. There are many need line universities when it comes to
16:24
domestic students, but when it comes to international, it's just those couple universities
16:32
Yeah, so I think that's just one point to make about MIT
16:38
Other than that, the scholarship or fellowship is just straightforward. I don't think it requires any further explanation. Yeah. Okay
16:57
Thank you very much. All right, then, guys. That is it. Presidential Graduate Fellowship at MIT
17:06
Again, if you have any questions at any point, just feel free to
17:10
ask them. Don't wait for us to finish what we're talking about. Okay
17:18
Is Facebook live stream working properly? I cannot. Okay. Now I can see
17:25
All right. Anyway, so let's move on to our third scholarship of the day
17:29
Guys, at any point, if you have any questions, just feel free
17:33
to ask them. Now, this is free tuition at University of Kassel
17:39
It's in Germany. Hang on. Let me share the link here, too
17:44
If you want to study in Germany, this might be a good option for you
17:48
Now, basically, there are a lot of universities in Germany that gives you free education
17:54
They don't charge tuition fees. This is one of them. It's for bachelors, masters, and PhD students
18:02
It's full tuition, meaning you don't pay tuition fees. There are no specific nationalities or subjects for this one
18:09
Admission deadline is July 15th. So keep that in mind. Now, again, it covers your entire tuition fees
18:17
But one thing to keep in mind is that you need to pay a semester
18:23
fee, which is about 300 euros per semester. Again, it's a fee, but it's not close in any way to what a
18:35
tuition fee normally is, especially in places like USA or United Kingdom
18:42
And Germany has a quite high quality of education, too. So you can get that education without paying any tuition fees
18:52
Again, no eligibility criteria either. You just need to be an international bachelor's, master's
18:57
and PhD student. Now, the university, again, it's in Germany. It's kind of a large institution
19:06
There are no other scholarships. I mean, there's one more scholarship, but that's a student
19:12
assistantship for graduate students. So you can see here the deadlines, application information
19:22
Again, no tuition fees. So the university is in the city of Kassel in Germany
19:31
I think that's how it's pronounced. Not perfectly sure, though. So yeah, this is the university
19:39
One of the universities in Germany. So one thing to keep in mind, of course, is that even though
19:45
a lot of German universities don't really charge tuition fees, a lot of places in Germany, especially more central cities
19:55
are quite expensive compared to other places in Europe, like maybe excluding the United Kingdom
20:03
So I believe in a lot of places in Germany, estimated financial
20:10
need, financial cost would be, living cost would be around 900 to 1,000 euros
20:17
Maybe Kassel would be a little lower than that, but still it's a significant sum for every month
20:25
Anyway, it would be good to keep that in mind. So this is the university
20:33
The scholarship, again, not much to be said about this one, but even though these are very quite simple scholarships
20:42
usually German universities and their pages have a lot of information about other alternative methods for financing
20:52
your education, like government scholarships, institutional scholarships, student loans or part-time jobs, etc
21:02
Here we don't have that. So this is pretty much it. It covers your tuition fees
21:11
This is a semester fee, by the way. They even give you an information, a detailed composition
21:17
of the semester fee that you are paying, which is about 340-350 euros per semester
21:24
So yeah, this is pretty much it. Free tuition at the University of Kassel in Germany
21:29
Eamon, do you want to add anything about this one? Yeah, sure
21:36
So free education is available to everyone in German public universities
21:51
But one thing to keep in mind is that anyone who wants to
21:55
study in Germany needs to pay for everything else. So even though education is free, you need to pay for rent
22:01
for food, for utilities, anything else that you need to pay out of pocket
22:09
I think generally for one year, for some countries, Germany requires a bank account that has at least
22:19
7,500 euros to cover your living expenses before being awarded a visa or maybe even, I'm not sure about admission
22:34
but I'm 100% sure about the visa part. They need to make sure that you have enough funds
22:40
to cover your education. And I have seen a lot of people ask, why does Germany
22:49
for example, offer education for free? And it's basically an investment because when you go there
22:58
you're going to pay for a lot of things. You're going to pay taxes as well
23:02
So taxes on products, which is good for their economy. So some people will find jobs afterwards and will be
23:13
also paying taxes as citizens. Students who go back to their home country will advocate
23:22
for Germany. They would tell people to go study there as well
23:26
which in and of itself is an investment in future students to keep coming to Germany
23:33
Also, Germany has a need for skilled workers, and I think they have a program now that they are recruiting
23:43
a lot of skilled workers from a lot of countries. And I think even international students can graduate
23:50
to work in certain fields that they're lacking workers in. So I think that's the main reason
24:05
And I think back in the day, like probably 2002, 2004, they brought back tuition fees, and then they saw that
24:13
it benefited no one except for the higher ups in the field of education
24:23
So they didn't see the benefit in it. So they abolished tuition fees again, and we're here today
24:28
where education is so great. And I think it's a good model, and I think more countries
24:35
should follow this because tuition fees being as high as 50k in the United States is just not affordable
24:45
for the average person. Yeah. Okay. Thank you very much, Eamon. All right, then
24:55
This was free tuition at the University of Kassel in Germany. I don't see any questions right now, so I'm going to move on
25:03
to our next and the last scholarship of the day. This is Freshman Scholarship at Gangnam Wonju National
25:12
University in South Korea. I'll share the link with you in the chat
25:19
Here we go. If you want to study in South Korea, this might be a good
25:24
option for you. Yeah. Now, this is for bachelors. It's in Gangnam Wonju National University
25:34
It's full tuition. There are no specific nationalities or subjects. And as you can see, the admission deadline is July 31
25:43
What it covers? Now, there are similar scholarships in other schools as well
25:51
Basically, you enter a proficiency test, Korean language proficiency test
26:01
And if you get, like, based on your level, you get a tuition
26:05
fee reduction. And if you get, like, level four, you get 80%
26:09
If you get level five, you get 100% of tuition fees covered
26:13
by the scholarship. And as you can see, there are, like, four level three or
26:18
English proficiency test. Like, as you can see, these are, like, they give you very
26:24
specific detailed information about that one, too. But basically, if you have a high Korean language
26:30
proficiency, so if you take time to learn Korean language before applying to the university, if you want to
26:38
study in South Korea, of course, it will cover your tuition fees
26:42
Now, one thing to keep in mind, that as you can see, the
26:47
eligibility criteria is pretty much the same thing, right? Now, okay. South Korean universities usually don't have extremely
26:58
high tuition fees. As you can see here, it is about six, like, seven million
27:05
South Korean ones, which is about, I believe, I don't know, $5,000, $6,000, which is not extremely high, but
27:13
still could be quite an high tuition fee. Extremely high, but still could be quite unaffordable for
27:22
a lot of people, right? And now, one thing is that, like, there are tuition, full
27:29
tuition scholarships in other schools as well, but this university is not in, for example, Seoul or, like, more
27:41
expensive places in South Korea, right? The city university. So this is one of the reasons this might be a reasonable
27:49
opportunity for a lot of people, because one of the things about, one thing about studying in South Korea is
27:56
that a lot of the cities are really high. For example, if you want to study in Seoul, it's really high
28:03
It's one of the most expensive places in the world. So, like, you would go to a university in Seoul, then
28:10
like, you wouldn't have to pay, for example, if you got a scholarship like this, you wouldn't have to pay for
28:17
tuition fees, your tuition would be covered by the scholarship, but then you would have to pay, like, maybe
28:26
twice that amount for your living costs. So this is not in a very central place, so it would be way
28:37
more affordable, like, your living costs would be way lower than that of Seoul, let's say
28:44
So this might be a good opportunity for you, like, if you want to study in South Korea, maybe you can just
28:51
afford tuition fees, but the living costs is just too much for you
28:56
This might be a good idea. University is not, like, that high ranking, one of the
29:03
higher ranking universities, but it's a good university, and, yeah, that's pretty much it
29:09
This is the university, and unfortunately, we cannot get more information about the university, about the
29:16
scholarship, because the page doesn't really work. It was working when I picked this one, but before the
29:25
livestream, I tried it, and no. But it's pretty much, like, what we have here, as you can
29:33
see, like, based on your proficiency in the Korean language, you get a tuition fee reduction
29:40
It's quite straightforward in that sense, and, yeah, so if you want to study in South Korea, it's an affordable
29:47
option, and it's a scholarship that makes it even more affordable, so, yeah, that's pretty much it
29:54
Anyone, do you want to add anything about this one? Yeah, so as you mentioned, the link is down for this one
30:03
and I've tried to find the new link, but their website is
30:08
quite slow for some reason. Maybe it's maintenance. Yeah, so other than that, I think someone last week asked
30:17
us about scholarships in South Korea, and we mentioned the scholarships awarded on the basis of your linguistic
30:24
proficiency score, and this is one of them. So whether you have taken the TOPIK, which is the Korean
30:31
language proficiency test, or any English proficiency test, like including TOEFL, IELTS, and other exams, you can be
30:39
awarded a scholarship, and then if you have taken the TOEFL, you can get a scholarship, and then if you
30:47
have taken the TOEFL, you can get a scholarship, and then you can be awarded a scholarship
30:54
So for this one, the scholarship for the Korean language proficiency test is higher than the one for the English
31:03
proficiency test, but it's not always the case. Like, most of the time, they are equivalent in other
31:11
universities, so it would be 100% as well for a high TOEFL
31:17
or IELTS score, same as a Korean proficiency score. Yeah, so this is just the small difference between
31:29
this scholarship and other scholarships offered at Korean universities. Other than that, I think it's
31:37
just the usual reminder that do not rely on the English website for these universities, but try to go to
31:46
the website in Korean, and then just use your browser to translate the page, but try to find scholarships there
31:55
because they have the most up-to-date information on their Korean website. Okay, thank you very much, Eamon
32:05
Okay, guys, that's it, freshman scholarship at Gyeongnam Wangju National University. I still don't see any questions in chat, so this was
32:16
our last scholarship of today's livestream. If you have any questions, I'm going to give you
32:24
a minute to type them in chat, but other than that, we're going to finish our livestream here
32:33
Basically, that was it. These were the scholarships that we have picked for today. Other than that
32:40
thank you very much for joining us here for the livestream. If you're watching this after the livestream
32:48
thank you very much for watching. Again, we have a YouTube channel
32:52
If you're watching this on Facebook, we share a lot of informative stuff
32:56
We also now are doing TikTok livestreams too. We have videos there too, a lot of informative stuff
33:04
So if you use TikTok, you might want to tune in for that
33:08
It's on every Thursday. Other than that, Eamon, thank you very much for joining me today
33:16
Yeah, thank you so much for having me. Alright. Okay, then, everyone
33:24
We're going to end our livestream here, seeing that no questions are coming in
33:32
Well, then, see you next Friday at the same time, same day. Other than that, bye
33:40
Have a nice day
