Scholarship Q&A Livestream

Okay, I think we're live. Should be. So, all right. Hi everyone,

it's Global Scholarships and I'm your host as I hope you're all doing well. I hope everything is going great. As

always, we are here for another weekly live stream, another Friday, another live stream. If you're new here, uh we

do this every Friday, pretty much every Friday. Sometimes like we have to get take the day off or something like that

but usually we are here every Friday. Basically this is a Q&A live stream about scholarships as you can see it's a

scholarship live stream about studying abroad that that type of thing basically. Uh hang on.

Um, okay, I'm back. Sorry about that. Anyway, hi everyone. As always, this is a Q&A live stream. Basically, we are uh

global scholarships. We're a platform that shares a lot of informative stuff about scholarships, about stuff. Hi, our

proy. It's great to see you here as always. Welcome to our live stream. Um, anyway, so this is our platform. This is

our website. Basically, we do have a website. We do have a YouTube channel. We also do have a Tik Tok account. Um,

we are kind of a little behind on that front. Um, I'm planning to like share

new stuff in there uh pretty soon actually. Anyway, so here we have a lot

of information about scholarships. We have guides about scholarships. We have guides about studying in different

countries. Uh, finding cheap and free universities. Uh hi there Sheriff Abed.

So basically this is a live stream Kel live stream but um one little odd thing

about this is that I'm here as the host. So basically uh what we're going to do

today is we're going to talk about like scholarships uh study abroad opportunities a little bit and first

half hour will be that but at any point you can just uh ask your questions in the chat and we're going to put them in

a question box and in in about like 20 25 minutes our expert like our actual

expert Aman will be here to answer all of them very fast like rapid fire questions. Bam bam bam is going to

answer them. Uh so like so that we don't really waste his time more uh like

talking about like this and that and etc. So if you have any questions at any point uh feel free to ask them. I'm

going to do my best to answer those questions. Uh but I'm not the real expert here. I'm just the host. I have

some information that I've accumulated uh like in the last year about scholarships etc etc. So if you have any

questions at any point just feel free to ask them. Okay. So if you're new here,

uh this is our website. Uh you can get a lot of information about scholarships, ton of information about different

schools. So we have a search tool. Basically, if you have a university in mind, let's say you want to study in

Oxford, right? A lot of people want want to study in Oxford. Uh here we can choose Oxford. Uh of course, and that

that is going to take you to our page, the page that we have for that university. As you can see, this is the

page that we have for this school. Uh and you get a lot of information here like uh the location, the population,

and number of scholarships. Uh this is of course a United Kingdom, so there are a lot of scholarships, but usually they

are not for either they're not for everyone. Uh sometimes they're for specific nationalities. Sometimes

they're they're for um people like displaced people, people who are looking for uh like refugees or looking for

sanctuary, etc. And a lot of them are uh just partial funding. If you don't know

what that means, we're going to talk about that in a second. So, but yeah, we have all of these here. And if you're

just interested in scholarships, you can just click here and it will take you to our like scholarship section. But we do

also have a lot of other stuff here. Um like learning about admissions. You can just click on any one of these to go and

learn about their admission process from the university. Like we have a lot of like links that you can click to go and

get more information directly. uh from the university or whichever uh we have

some uh scholarship and admission results. Basically these are some results that we have found uh from

people applying to this university. So for example we have five um for Oxford

and as you can see these are all accepted. they have their SATs uh ACTs

uh their expected family contribution which means for example like if they have no expected family contribution

which means that like um if they they're accepted for example uh like this person

from Asia with 1540 SAT no uh EFC no GPA

uh and they're accepted for a fully funded scholarship which means basically the university covers all of their um

educ educational costs basically like living costs, tuition etc etc. So yeah,

we have that. We have deadlines. We have of course the tuition. So um if you if

you're planning to study in let's say I don't know United States, in United Kingdom, in Canada, Australia, um

less so in places like Japan, but like still uh in a lot of other countries as

well. Um your main cost will probably be like your tuition

because uh for example this is about I guess about $40 $50,000

and if you're um planning to study in United States your tuition will be about like between 30 and 60 or something like

that. So tuition is very important. Um there are some places that you don't have to pay any tuition or like very

little tuition and we're going to talk about that. for example uh some very very very affordable universities in

Austria uh we're going to see those okay pro says can you help which units units

sorry is best for low tution fees or to get 90 to 100% scholarship for master in

computer science and also can this possible who have low GPA so you know

what um let's we'll look at this uh look into these later so um there are a a lot

of places if you're planning to study a masters uh that offer offer a lot of

scholarships um subjects usually do not matter all that much. For example, I'm

uh I'm planning to um like I've made a video like we're making a video about

seven full funding scholarships sorry in Scandinavia, right? Uh so about like six

of these hang on actually. Yeah. I know seven of these uh scholarships all of

them are available for master students and there are some countries they're full they're all full funding by the way

we're going to like we can see them in a second but there are certain countries in for especially in uh like Europe

places like Netherlands or Belgium uh they do have a lot of um full funding

scholarships for masters so actually you know what let's use our search tool

uh so when it comes to um low GPA Okay. Uh let's ask about that uh let's ask

Aean about that in like like 15 minutes or so uh when he comes. But usually um

the universities don't really care all that much about like usually your like GPA kind of matters when you get into

the university. Uh so like if they accepted you um like especially for

masters they kind of look into more like um like what research you have or

something like that. Uh Brevin says how can we apply for the scholarship from Nepal? Nepal uh can you show me the

steps? So uh can there is is there any are there any scholarships for bachelors? There are. So this is our

search tool. I'm I'm just going to share the link with you. So you can uh look into this yourself. Uh so basically we

have all these filters here. You can choose for example let's say bachelors. You can choose nationalities. Usually

nationality does not really matter like uh most scholarships are just for everyone pretty much. Uh for example,

William Pulken memorial scholarship um as you can see all nationalities. Um and

there are some scholarships for example let's choose Nepal as nationality right

um hang on you know what oh there it was.

So as you can see we have about like uh 200 2,600 scholarships in general and

when we choose Nepal uh we lose about 200 of those which means like about 90 more than 95% of all

scholarships that we have in our database they're just available for any nation does not matter anyway. So uh you

can look into these. These are for bachelors. Um you can choose full funding. Uh basically if you are so um

no we do not have that uh service. Um we do have tutorials. We we do make

tutorials for um application to universities and sometimes the university applications are pretty much

the same as scholarship applications because some scholarships don't really require any separate application. you

apply to the university and uh they automatically consider you for uh the scholarships but usually for a lot of

scholarships um you have to first apply to the university get accepted to the university and then you can apply to the

scholarship so that's why we can't make a lot of scholarship uh tutorials application tutorials because their

application procedures are usually for like that first I would have to apply to

the university commit fraud get into the university would I take application and

then have to study uh apply for the scholarship and then just not go and

study there so which like which is not something I can do really it's both like

like all kinds of problematic okay so but uh there are specific scholarships

uh for example whenever we make videos about like currently open scholarships on our channel uh you can see that I

always talk about like whether the scholarship um requires a separate application or not. Uh for example,

uh let's see this one for example. This does not require any separate application, right? Star scholarship at

Carlton College. Uh this is in United States. Basically, it says uh there is

no separate application. I have secured one 371. Can I get full scholarship or

none? It is really not that easy to say. It is kind of different for uh all

scholarship but I think 3.7 is if you're like out of

four I think that's a good GPA. Uh but it's not really possible to say that oh

yeah you'll 100% get a scholarship with that one or not. Uh but yeah it's quite

good. One thing you can do is again uh go to globalcolarships.com

and here we have scholarship stories as well. uh C admissions basically these are like a lot of um for example someone

from Latin America with 3.74 uh no SAT uh no expected um family

contribution they were accepted to Harvard College Hford College sorry Hford College um you can like uh filter

by GPA um as you can see there are for example from India with two GPA excepted to

northern Illinois University. Um there are some very low GPA uh um applications

here that are accepted. Uh and like this one for example, three University of

Massachusetts, University of Cincinnati with scholarship and like their SAT is also not that crazy high as well. So

yeah, it is possible. uh but in a lot of times like the you'd have to be accepted

to the university of course but a lot of times they are looking for the individual candidates so yeah it's it's

not just GPA there are a lot of other things that are quite important so um

Roy yeah we were talking about that right for example I'm going to show you a couple of scholarships right now or

masters so um you do have a lot of uh a lot of

those in Europe for example let's say full funding ones so one great thing about uh Europe is

that um usually like if you ex exclude the

United Kingdom a lot of the universities don't really have extremely high tuition fees for example uh here we have NL high

potential scholarship at master university and it's given to 24 people uh there are

some eligible nationalities. I'm not sure if you're one of these from one of these nationalities and it covers a lot

of things. Uh full tution and monthly stipend. We have some students from

outside EUA. Uh Switzerland or Surinam. I'm not sure why they're excluding Surinam. What did

Sururnam do? Those have not pursued a degree program in Netherlands. Not older than 35, which is usually the age limit

for a lot of like master scholarships. Uh so you can look into this uh there

are quite a few of those. This is about for example this is 38 of these and

these are just full funding programs for masters in Europe. There are other

places as well. uh for example let's see Sweden had some of those and when I was

looking for like yeah as you can see this is for public health computer engineering

right computer engineering and electrical engineering for bachelors and masters in lule university of technology

you can look into this as well um all nationalities except Sweden doesn't

really matter full funding um it covers your living expenses this is this I

believe is about you know what Let's just look.

It's about 12,000. So, that's a lot.

So, they're giving you about like $1,200 or $1,300 every month. Um, this is just for

European Union, though. Okay. Uh, so yeah, tions are use usually not

that expensive. Uh but as you probably know, Scandinavian countries are very very very expensive.

Um wait, where's the tuition? I guess tution is free, I'm guessing. So let's

see other ones. We have like graduate assistantships at home university. uh

which all nation LTS it covers uh bas basically you you go and work in

the university and it covers like it basically they give you a specific

amount of salary uh for how much you work and there are other as well of

course there in there are a lot of these in United States um United States is a

bit of kind of a bit of a gamble gamble because like if you don't get full funding scholarships or at least full

tition scholarships in United States. Uh you might have to pay about like I don't know $40,000 tuition every year which

which is really not affordable for a lot of people. But what you can do, you can just try to go to for example Germany

where you don't have to pay any tuition anyway. Usually universities are free

and you will need about€1,000 or something like that to cover your living expenses and you also get like uh

some some full tuition. These are free tuition. You get some partial funding uh

part like it says partial funding but basically for example um this is very good student assistantships at RWTH Aen

University. So basically you don't have any you don't have to pay any tuition fees. What about GPA? Shininess.

Um in Germany it's very hard to get admission. Yeah it is. It it actually is. Um again we we would need to ask

Amon about that like what countries are more likely to accept you for um with

like 3.1 GPA. Uh so like he'll be about he'll be here in about like 5 10

minutes. he'll he'll have a better idea. Um I wouldn't really know. I I think still

Europe might be your best option in the sense that uh for example um like

because in if you go to United States, if you go to Canada, if you go to a

Australia, if you go to United Kingdom, so usually those places don't have a lot

of uh scholarships that cover everything, right? uh he'll be here like

he he he joins us uh about about 30 now.

So like you would have to get some extremely uh extremely um competitive

scholarships in United States and like in a lot of very highly competitive universities as well. Uh but when it

comes to Europe because since they already don't ha don't charge you tuition

uh most scholarships that they have to give you aren't really that uh expensive

for them. Like for example this one they only give you about about like 6,000

per semester. So you get about like €12,000 per year which is pretty much how like which is pretty much your

entire living costs. It should be right. But when like when American universities

give you like a full funding university, full funding scholarship, uh you get numbers like like when you include the

tuition and you include the living cost, it comes about comes about like $100,000

every year. So it becomes incredibly expensive for them. So yeah, looking into Europe might be more affordable.

Yeah. one problem about um Europe is of course

um language. So like but uh pretty much every country in in Europe they do offer

English taught programs as well. We talk about that we talk about that all the time and I'm and I try to make like more

videos about like English taught programs English taught uh universities in different countries. They don't get a

lot of views but I think I I feel like it's important for a lot of people. Um, so yeah, uh, you can look into those.

Uh, one country, uh, one country that we don't really talk about all that much

is, um, Austria. Austria also don't have that many, um,

scholarships, but that's mainly because they also have very low tuition. For example, these are

six cheap and free universities in Austria. And like for example this one is free to everyone like all everyone

basically. So like you can click here and this is Valberg by the way it's a really good university as well. Um let's

say all currently not charged tuition fees like any like usually when you see

things like this it's like it's free to EU students but it's not free to non-EU

students. These are not like that. Uh these are all normally free for EU students, but these are also like very

affordable, but for example, these are all about €700 per semester for non-EU

students. So like this is about two, let's say 1,000,

like about $1,500 every year. Um compared to $50,000 in

United States. So um also like Austria is not that expensive.

Um let's see for example Germany can be quite

expensive based on like uh depending on where you are studying. Uh but like for

for example in different places in Austria they offer very good educationities that don't charge

admission fees. Don't charge admission fees. Um, I think we've made some,

you know, there's application fees. Um, don't charge admission fees. I don't

know. I don't really know about that. Let's look. Let's Let's ask Aean uh about that as well. I don't think we

have like a ready list about um universities that don't charge admission.

Um I don't even know if that like there's there are some universities that

give you scholarships uh that basically cover your admission fees, application fees like whatever

fees as well. Um anyway so so uh we'll ask that to Aean when it comes back when

it comes in about what 5 minutes. So for example, University of Vienna, right?

Um, we have some scholarships here as well. Like for example, this is a partial scholarship. When you look at

this scholarship, it's just a partial scholarship. It just gives you about like €3,000.

But when you consider the fact that you also pay about half that every year to

tuition, it becomes very very uh affordable. So we have some full funding

scholarships here but that's just for PhD unfortunately. Um medical university

of Vienna uh University of Salsburg for example. All of these are about €700 per

semester. Uh we made a video about that as well. Uh Vienna University of Technology. These are really good

universities by the way. Uh so this is let's see this is for masters

performance-based. So, this is for all um you have to pay only pay about like

€1,500 every year anyway. And this scholarship is about is worth about 1,500.

Basically, if you get it, you don't pay anything. Uh

so, this is performance based. So, with GPA of 2.0 or higher, which should be

applicable to you. Um let me see. This says performance based. So maybe it's like every it's renewed

uh with the requirements meet the proposal criteria

uh respective period of study additional semester so

this could be like this this might be every year I'm not sure about that uh

but yeah it is quite affordable uh Germany or for example France as well

has uh some hang on let me see they also do I believe have uh some English taught

programs and they're also quite affordable Italy does have a lot of those I think Italy is a very good

option for a lot of people um not very expensive tuitions are usually very

affordable um there are quite a number of scholarships

as well so and they do have programs in English, too. So, I think it's a good it

might be a good idea. Um, hang on.

So, it's possible to study for free in Korea or Japan. Uh, like even the

flight. So, there are some extremely generous scholarships that cover your

flight. Um, I'm not sure if any of those exist

in Japan, but actually let's let's let's look at it. Right. Let's let's type in Japan.

It's quite rare for a scholarship to cover your sorry um airplane tickets. So, we have

about 21 scholarships in Japan. It will also have a lot of scholarship, but I

don't know is this good computer science or not. Um

yeah, I think a might have a better answer, but like I don't think I think like the education you would get there

about on uh computer science would be really good. I think another option a

really good option that people kind of like sleep on is China. China do also

offers programs. Hang on, Rashid. We're gonna get back to that in a second, but

like I want to show something. So let's say China China not only offers programs

uh in English or French for example Shanghai University but also uh they

have specific scholarships just for English or French programs

China let's say full funding and usually scholarships in China um they have like

different levels so like even if you don't get the highest amount like full funding you still can get like full tion

and then your living cost would be much much more affordable than a lot of other countries. Um and like there they have

very good computer science education like Singo University for example they have Schwartzman scholars. Uh this is

like one of the top 10 universities especially when it comes to um learning

about like uh computer science. Uh hi there. Uh hello brother from India. Uh

it's it's uh you're very welcome. It's great to hear you hear from you. Welcome

to our live stream. Thank you very much for joining in. If you have any questions at any point, feel free to ask

them. Just like if it's more specific, we can help you a little better with your questions. So, uh for example, they

do have like excellent academic records, uh minimum academic requirements. minimum academic requirements you can

see um from their universities but they like even this is one of the top ranking

uh scholarships in the top ranking universities like I do believe Chingo University is probably like top 10

globally uh but they for example um let me see undergraduate Chinese

program like for example Shangai Jatong University this is a very good university uh they have specifically

they have scholarships for specifically Chinese programs, but they also do have undergraduate English and French program

scholarships. These are specifically for um hang on and this is for this is just

for masters. Sorry, bachelors. Hang on. Let's see. Masters as well. Usually

masters get better uh scholarships. So you still have about like 20 full

funding scholarships. one belt, one road scholarship, university scholarship in Pecking University, China. Uh again, one

of the highest ranking universities in the world. So you get 100% tuition fees for partial

scholarships, 100% tuition, living statement, accommodation. Uh one great

thing about China is usually like the culture there is most students

just like they stay in the university like accommodation is in the university which kind of makes a lot of uh living

costs way more affordable for students. So like like it's you're way more likely

to get um your accommodations covered in China especially on campus uh than let's

say it in a lot of like European countries, United States, they don't really cover that like even sometimes

they give you a certain allowance or support for accommodation even then like usually you won't like it won't cover

your expenses uh because like depending on where you study uh rents can be

insanely high and they give you comprehensive medical insurance which is another thing that is not really talked

about enough because uh in places like United States

yeah like medical bills just can bankrupt you pretty much very very

easily. Anyway, so it's 6:30. Uh let me just join in with Aean so you can come

in and answer your questions. So let's see. This is our second Zoom call. Uh,

let me find the first one. I I confuses these every single time.

Choose the wrong one. Um,

okay. Waiting for him to just see me. And are

there universities where you don't pay application fee when applying for admission? There are. Um, we've made

videos about those actually. I think I've made like a short

uh very recently, but uh you can just uh you can just like search for

application fee in our YouTube channel and you'll see we've made a couple of videos about like application free

application universities in United States or free application universities in South Korea. Uh hi Emman, can you

hear me? Um hello, can you hear me? Oh, yep. I can hear you as well. I do believe

you're also uh audible in the live stream.

So, how are you? How are things? I'm doing well, thank you. How are you? I'm doing well. I'm doing well, too.

Thank you very much. Um, so, uh, welcome to the live stream. We have a couple of

questions for you. Um for example, Arup Roy says uh like can you help which

university is best for low tuition fees uh or get like 90 to 100% scholarship

for masters in computer science and also can this possibly uh be attained with low GPA. So we talked about some options

uh to find like low uh tuition like different countries. We've seen some scholarships. Uh this week I have made a

short about like uh very affordable universities in Austria. You've seen those. Uh but like one thing that we

couldn't really cover without you was like how much like what country would be better if you're looking for these with

low GPA. Uh I think he said his GPA is about like 3.15.

So uh for example we talked about Germany but then he said like it is really difficult to get admission uh in

Germany with like 3.15 GPA. So uh maybe thought you could give some more

insights about like what countries could be better for like targeting uh with lower GPA.

Um yeah so I think they make a good point about Germany. Mhm. And one thing that is important to

note about uh German universities, if you go on their websites, sometimes you'll uh you go there and see that the

minimum GPA would be 2.5. Mhm. Uh but that's misleading because usually

that's on the German scale which is on which like one is the best GPA. It's not

four. Yeah. So 2.5 might seem like low because people are usually used to the other

scale but the German scale works differently and 2.5 I think is around 3.5 uh on the uh

normal scale and by normal I mean uh the one used in most other countries where

4.0 is uh the highest GPA you can get. So uh I hope that uh no one gets misled

by that and uh always assume that whenever you go on uh German

universities website and see that the GPA seems low more often than not that

means that it's on the German scale. Um yeah, so 3.15 wouldn't be um

really sufficient to get into most German universities if and not to say

all of them. I think the minimum is usually uh 2.5 on the German scale which

is around 3.5. Um I think in countries like the United

States uh the GPA requirements are much lower probably around 3.0 is the minimum

but uh it doesn't satisfy the other criteria of low tuition. So I guess the

better options would be somewhere in Eastern Europe

uh like Hungary, Romania um where education is good and uh it is

affordable and at the same time the GPA requirements are not as high as uh in

Germany for example. I think Austria has similar

um standards as Germany when it comes to admissions especially at the graduate

level. So I would expect their GPA to be or the GPA requirements to be around 3.5

as well. Um so yeah a GPA of 3.15 is uh

relatively low to get into most universities especially for uh subjects

like computer science where the requirements tend to be a little higher

uh then it's just the standard. Um, yeah. So, I guess for low tuition and

then a low GPA, uh, I guess

just aim for Eastern European countries. Mhm.

Okay. Thank you very much. Uh, welcome regular shorts. Um, you're not really all that late. Aean, for example, joined

in. Did you wait for Aean to join the live stream? Did you not want to waste

your time with me? uh that is that why you are late because it that's rude but also very understandable if that's what

you did. So Revan says I think they're asking for um

uh scholarship from Nepal. Yeah, we talked about that or bachelors and I

think they mean their GPA is 3.7.

Uh I don't I'm not I'm not sure if that's right. And in general, they're asking

for like whether they can get scholarships uh with that like 3.7. I

think that is supposed to be GPA. Didn't really give all that much um detail.

Uh what do you think? Um yeah, so if it's 3.71

on um a 4.0 scale, you can get a

scholarship anywhere basically. Uh this is as high as it gets when it comes to GPA requirements. So you have

more chances uh of getting scholarships because you qualify for more. And uh it

just comes down to the rest of your application because no

the GPA is not uh the limiting factor. Uh it could be something else but as far

as the GPA is concerned and that's all they gave us. Uh you can get a scholarship at any university that

offers scholarships or any country that offers scholarships for that matter.

Yep. Okay. Um let's see GPA. Um so Rebin, if you are looking for

like help in applying for scholarships for undergraduates, basically what you can do is go to our website. Um look for

scholarships. Like we cannot give you advice about applying uh old

scholarships. I mean we can just give very general a very vague advice until

you can get like very specific. just go in and maybe watch watch some of our videos uh and see like what country

perhaps you're interested in, what university perhaps you're interested in and then we can help you kind of a

little better because there is no tutorial for applying to any scholarship

like old scholarships you can there is like there is not for example we made a

tutorial about applying a tutorial for applying to Kais University right and

for for that application application to university, you can apply to a scholarship by just like uh like you

know checking a box and that's it. Uh but that's just one scholarship. When it comes to other scholarships like the

procedure can get very very very much uh different. Uh so yeah uh you you need to

get like more specific for us. uh we talk about Austria, we talk about uh so

we talked about universities that don't charge admission fees. So I don't think

we have a list ready about this. I don't think we've made a video like we made we

made videos about um university that don't charge application fees but not about university that don't

charge admission fees. I don't really have much information about that. uh what what would you say?

Um yeah, so throughout the years, the number of these universities that don't

charge any uh application fees have gone lower and lower. Uh universities that

didn't used to charge any fees now do and now there are very few that don't. I

think most German universities don't. Uh but outside of uh Germany and maybe

some European countries, uh most universities now charge a fee.

Um it's usually around uh $50 to $100.

Mhm. Um but I think that uh there aren't many or

not as many as uh there used to be. So the options are just to contact the

universities and see if you can get the fee waved. Um,

but other than that, uh, even if you find a list, it's going

to be a short list. Uh, there aren't going to be many universities that don't charge any fees

anymore. Okay. Um, so is it possible to study for

free in Korea or Japan? like even the flight someone asked or should ask and I

said like there are very few scholarships um that cover your uh like flight like

airplane tickets as well. Uh there are some but extremely few that like and I don't I remember that there are some in

like either Korea or Japan. I was looking into like maybe I can find those as well. Uh but like I wanted to ask you

as well uh maybe you have one like that jumps to mind uh like very comprehensive

ones for example sorry for example I just uh

found one in Kochi University of Technology but this is board PhD uh it covers it gives you one time payment for

like uh yeah 1,500 sorry 150,000 Japanese yen for travel and initial

living expenses. So yeah, there are some uh but not that very many. Anyway, sorry

uh sorry for um just go ahead. No, no, it's fine. Um yeah, so as you

mentioned, there aren't many scholarships that uh

offer comprehensive funding including the flight tickets.

Mhm. Um, I thought that uh either the

MEX or Global Korea scholarships cover it, but I'm not completely sure.

Uh, but I think one that I'm pretty sure it does is the uh

um it's a joint scholarship. I think it's the Joint Japan World Bank scholarship,

but it's for graduate students. I think we have it in the database. Uh so the

mix does uh cover it, right? Uh yeah. So this is global Korea

airplane tickets. This is mixed. It does cover roundtrip travel and this is join

Japan round trip economy airfare between your home country and the host university at the beginning and end of

studies. So yeah, you can look into these. Yeah. Anyway, go ahead. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. I think those are the ones

that jump to mine because uh they're basically government scholarships, but

most university scholarships uh don't cover any um

uh plane tickets that they they cover a loan, but yeah. uh they don't go as far as

covering the plane tickets or the visa fees which some scholarships do.

Um yeah, so these are the scholarships I can think of. So these are the go-to

scholarships, but most scholarships just don't uh really go as far as covering

your airfare um or visa or any travel expenses. So

there's one that I just found. I'm sharing the link with you. This is international students incentive

scholarship program at Maji University for bachelor's, masters, PhD. There are some specific nationalities

and every program you have to apply for this separately. It covers half of full

tuition fee, examination, admission waiver, and monthly stipent uh 100,000

yen travel cost to Japan from Japan. But thing is uh like you have to also look u

to read about like directly from the university but because sometimes uh some of these are benefits are for like uh

just for masters or PhD and some of them are also for bachelors as well. Uh so

you can look into these uh but like it it looks very gener uh generous

uh but yeah you you need to read uh yourself from the university um pay

application fee so yeah I don't think

okay so music villain says do you think bachelor's from a low university ranking

matters while getting into a high ranking university for masters I'm from Pakistan professor from Hanya South

Korea accepted me but not Yuni till

is that the end of the question? Is that it? I'm not sure if that's a complete

complete sentence. Uh what do you make of it?

[Music]

I I don't quite understand uh what they're trying to get at here.

Um so do you think bachelors from a low university ranking matters as in your b

you have already done your bachelor's at a low ranking university and you're trying to get into

uh high ranking a university that is higher ranked. I don't think that ranking plays

uh much of a role into um your acceptance at a university later

on. Uh because what they're most interested in is your competence

as an individual rather than where you studied. So provided that

um you did well on your degree and uh you can prove that you're competent

at whatever subjects you're trying to pursue. It doesn't matter what university you graduated from. Uh

they they don't treat applicants uh differently if they come from

uh different universities. It's just a matter of how you present yourself to

uh the admission committee. It's it's not really about where you came from.

Yeah. And pretty much every university do like they do have their own way of uh kind of measuring your competence. For

example, uh like in Turkey, you usually go through some sort of like uh written exam and then like you also kind of like

they talk to you and like ask ask you questions verbally uh to like

doesn't really matter like if you if you are very good like if you can present your knowledge very good understanding

questions and like if you because when it comes to masters at that point it becomes less about just um kind of uh

learning just how much knowledge you have accumulated and more about like how much can you like how good you are at

analyzing uh the information that you can get or like how good are you at kind

of conveying that information. So like uh if if you're very good at that no one

will care whether you are from like a lowranking university or anything like that. So like I I've I've seen I've been

through a lot of different like um post-graduate uh like exams, entrances

etc etc. So yeah, I mean I know this is more about like international universities, international studying

abroad and I don't have much uh experience on that but when it comes to like post-graduate education yeah when

it comes to like exams accepting uh like masters or PhD students yeah they

usually look at how good you are at the thing that you are going to do with them because like because when it comes to

masters and PhD education is way more kind of like close like one- on-one or

usually stuff like that. So if you if they see you are very good at um

accepting information, analyzing it and then bring it back. Uh yeah, they they won't care about what university you're

from. Um thank you Aman for the feedback. Uh can

be specific like in Eastern Europe, which country? Um, do you have any

specific country that you would uh suggest or maybe from like central Europe? We

talked about Austria today, but yeah, if you have any uh specific country.

Um, yeah. So, I I did mention both Hungary and uh Romania. There's also

Poland uh which is a very very uh popular

choice for international students uh because

it is really cheap and the quality of life is great, the

quality of education is great and you have a lot of chances of uh being admitted to uh Polish

universities. I think these are the main ones that uh international students go

to. Uh it's Hungary, Romania, Poland,

and maybe to a letter a lesser extent Bulgaria. So I don't know many

international students there, but uh the other three are domain ones.

Yeah. Uh by the way, like you can read about Romanian government scholarship here, and I think we made a video about

that as well. Uh, Hungary also do have a it's a government scholarship, right? Hungarian

scholarship. Um, yes. Yeah. Um, okay. Any tutorial on how to

wait without going crazy till January for results? Uh, yeah. I'm not at all

good uh when it comes to comes of waiting. It's just I just I sit down and

constantly think think about it. Uh, so maybe Aean has some better insights

about that one. Um, yeah,

I'm not sure how you can deal with that, but I would say don't stress things you

have no control over. Yeah. So,

if all you can do is wait, then yeah, that's basically all you can do. Um, all right. I I don't see any new

questions and I think we've been through we've gone through all of the questions that were asked before you came came in.

Um so we've talked about Austria a little bit about like education and like

usually their tuitions are more affordable. Um like some of them are

free for both uh EU and non-EU students. uh like is there any anything you want

to say about Austria in general or perhaps like something that uh anyway

you want to say um I guess Australia sorry Austria is uh

one of those countries that is that are really uh underrated uh in terms of how many people ask about

them in comparison to other countries I don't think get asked enough about uh Austria

uh when it's a very affordable country and it's a very beautiful country.

Yeah. Uh to live in uh it's a just a bordering country of Germany.

So German is the main language. Mhm. Uh I think for getting into universities

in general, you are required to have a certain level of German or English. Uh

generally it's a C1 in German and around 7.5 uh ILTS

uh in English or equivalent uh in other tests. Um it's mostly great

for the graduate students in my opinion uh because the research projects there

are really interesting from what I have checked and there is a big focus on

research um at Austrian universities. So I guess

if you're a graduate student with um a project that is uh research focused uh

Austria is a great option. Um the education is really affordable. So, I

don't think there are many scholarships offered by Austrian universities,

although there are a few, but in general, I think it is it can be as low

as €1,500 um

per semester at Austrian universities. Yeah, at least the last time I checked. Maybe

it's a little higher now, but it's not as expensive as say the UK or the United

States, Canada, Australia. Um, I don't think you'll have much much struggle

when it comes to the language in Austria because most people speak English. Yeah. Or at least from the feedback of

students who studied there. uh there isn't much uh trouble in that regard

which you can find in some other countries. So if you go to France or

Spain uh these countries you you do need to speak French or Spanish because very few

people speak English. Uh whereas as as you go north things get better. So

Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, uh Finland, Norway,

uh Denmark, all these countries, uh you can find many uh people who speak

English as opposed to the southern side of Europe. Uh yeah. So I guess it is uh one of the

best options in in Europe at the moment. I wouldn't say Austria is Eastern Europe

because it's still uh a little bit uh on the Western side.

Mhm. Um so I wouldn't put it with the other countries when we're talking about uh

studying in Eastern Europe like Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic. All these are a little bit to

the to the east but it's still uh part of the western side of Europe. Uh so it

is western side but it it is very affordable uh nonetheless.

Okay. Thank you very much. Hello Sang. Um I'm not sure what language that is. I

don't I don't speak like uh if you can if you can ask the same question in English. Perhaps we can be better help.

Uh better help. Revan I I don't think I understand that question. Scholarship form isn't

accepted by the website. What? What scholarship form? What website?

Uh participation is crazy sometimes. Yeah, it is. Waiting is just the worst.

I hate I hate it. like whenever I have to take something like uh I I just I

just try my best to go first like if it's a line or something like that or

like in general uh like people like if people are going to go through a test one by one I just

try to do first and just like get over it. Uh I have 5 point 6.5 6.5s

one planning pursue bachelor in Sunmoney University. What's fee structure and

scholarship? So let's see if we have that in our database.

Yeah, I don't think we do. Um I don't think I've read it wrong.

Uh maybe we can look into that. Uh Evan, do you know what this university?

Yeah, I think it's it's one it's not one word. I think it's like sun is there is a space.

Yeah. Uh hang on. Sun Moon University. I see. So um South Korea

they do have some scholarships. The tuition is about 68 million South Korean

ones which is let's see how much it is in dollars. Um

it's about4.6,000 so like $5,000

uh tuition. They do have one partial funding scholarship.

Let's see it's about um 50%. Yes. So um there is like a lot of

Korean universities do this. Uh basically there's a test called uh topic or test of proficiency in Korean and you

can take this uh it's kind of like I guess uh you go through it and based on your level there are a lot of uh Korean

universities that will automatically give you something like 50%, 60%. Uh

there are some universities like if you get the highest level from topic uh it's just tuition is free or something like

that. Uh so we only have this one in this university I believe. Hang on. So

yeah, this one and then we do have like global Korea uh scholarship which is the

government scholarship. Now uh government scholarships basically you can apply to the

government scholarship uh through like all the universities in uh Korea. But if

I remember correctly, different universities of or different types of universities uh have different codants.

For example, like Aean, correct me if I'm wrong, but for example, like if you're applying to a university in uh

Seoul, uh applying for this scholarship through a university in Seoul, it is

kind of more difficult to get that uh compared to if you apply to a university

uh outside Seoul, right? So like yes this is available for like a lot of

different universities in South Korea but especially like if you are applying for this scholarship through Sunmoon

University which is not in Soul. Uh so you might have an advantage like if they have different coders. Aemon am I wrong

about this? Um yeah so you are right about each

university having a specific number of uh applicants you can get in

through the scholarship. So there is this is the university track

and yeah you can also apply through the embassy uh in your country and that's the embassy track and generally

embassies have fewer uh seats than uh

university. So it's always better to apply through the university although sometimes uh you have better chances to apply

through the embassy. just a case by case thing. But in terms of numbers, uh, universities have

higher higher a higher number of seats and then with each university having

varying number of seats and as you mentioned some universities are harder

to get into than others. Yeah. Um, yeah. So

I guess um you choose the university that works for you best and I think they

give you you can apply to as many universities as you want. So it's it's it's not an issue uh when it comes to

that. But it's good to keep in mind that there are universities that that are more competitive just because they're

within a certain area or because they they have a certain ranking.

Okay. So cyber security do you have any idea if I got a degree from Korean universities and the world ranking about

like five to 6,000 if I can pursue further studies in Australia? I wouldn't

know much about that really. Aean, what do you think?

Yeah. So it's it's totally dependent on many many things

and just the fact that you studied in South Korea. I don't think um that matters much.

What matters is uh how your degree went, your grades, uh your achievements at the

university. So, it's not just because you studied in South Korea, you have

higher chances of being admitted in Australia. So, it doesn't work that way. Um, generally speaking, there are

actually some exchange programs between um, Korean universities and Australian

universities. So, if you're interested in exchange programs, but if you're

interested in a full uh, transition to Australia, I don't think that studying

in Korea or anywhere for that matter uh, increases your chances of getting into

Australian universities. What it does is how you performed uh during your studies

at that specific Korean university rather than just studying there.

Okay. Thank you. By the way, I'm going to share the link with you for this admission guide. So like they give you a

lot of information here like hang on. So let me see. Sun moon. What was it? Here

it says applicant qualifications. So language proficiency if you're going

through Korean track you have to have at least level three or higher topic

and but like you should be able to get a scholarship for that. Yeah about 50% exemption.

So yes um okay if you have any other questions uh this is pretty much it. uh

like we've talked about a lot of stuff and we answered all the questions and I

think like if you don't have any other questions we're going to end the live stream around here but if you do just just type them in uh very fast. Uh so

yeah that's pretty much it otherwise we're going to end the live stream here. So I'll just give you a minute to ask

any questions that you might have. Uh thank you very much regular shorts.

Uh it's really great to see you here. Um every live stream even though you don't

really come to our live streams for me which is acceptable. Uh our expert comes in

usually about uh 30 minute mark. Okay.

Um I don't think there are any other questions. So yeah, that'll be it I

guess today. Um Aman, thank you very much for joining in and answering our questions.

Of course. Thank you for having me. All right. Um, everyone, thank you very much for joining in. If you're watching

this after the live stream on VOD, thank you very much for watching. We're here every Friday. Sometimes we take the day

off, sometimes we can we have other things to do, but usually we are here every Friday at the same hour. Uh, and

yeah, uh, you have a nice nice day too. Two regular shorts and see you next
