Things you should know about scholarships / admissions abroad

1. Fully funded scholarship is a very broad term. This may entail only tuition. What this means is that you need to figure out your living expenses. Others may cover tuition and a stipend for living expenses.
Based on the city you may be living in, this may be enough or not!

2. Research or teaching assistantship is like a job you are performing and you get paid for it. If your scholarship document doesn't state explicitly that you would have a tuition fee waiver,
then whatever is paid to you is what you use for your fees and expenses.

3. It's posible to have research/ teaching assistantships jobs in North America once you are a student in the university. So even if you don't get it during applying there are still other chances.
4. As a student in Canada, there are tons of internal scholarships you can still get access to.

5. Apart from tuition and other student fees, you need to budget for health insurance.

I used to get upset when people asked for things, I had already provided information to in my tweet! I later realised they were asking not because they were not reading but sometimes, they genuinely didn't know yet how to manoeuvre their way around Twitter.
It changed a lot for me and how I interact with others. It took me several years to find my footings on here. So I will keep on repeating the same information over and over again if my time would allow me.
It involves a lot of my time to create these resources so what's the essence of spending all this time and the people I created it for genuinely can't or don't know how to access it?

Studying abroad struggles

Which group do you fall in?

Let me know and I would offer you some advice and some resources.

#RoadToGradschool
1. I want to study abroad but I have no idea where to start from?

2. I keep on applying to schools and I don't get admission to any of them?

3. I get admission but no scholarship?
4. I can't afford the various applications fees so I don't apply at all.

5. I don't apply because I don't think I would be selected anyways. It's only for first class people so why bother. This study abroad thingie and scholarship is all lies.
