SCHOLARSHIPS
Fully Funded vs. Partially Funded Scholarships: What’s the Difference?
Start Here: Studying abroad is expensive. Tuition fees can cost thousands of dollars. The solution? Scholarships. But be careful—choosing the wrong type could lead to visa rejection. Here is the real difference between “Fully Funded” and “Partially Funded.”
1. What is a Fully Funded Scholarship?
This is the “Golden Ticket.” It covers 100% of your expenses. You focus on studying, and the sponsor pays the bills. It is highly competitive but worth the effort.
What Does It Cover?
- ✅ Tuition: 100% paid to the university.
- ✅ Flights: Round-trip tickets included.
- ✅ Stipend: Monthly cash for food ($800 – $1,500).
- ✅ Accommodation: Free dormitory housing.
2. What is a Partially Funded Scholarship?
This is a “Discount” on your education. It helps reduce the cost, but you still need your own money to survive.
What Does It Cover?
- ⚠️ Tuition: 25% – 50% discount only.
- ❌ Cost to You: You pay for flights, visa, and food.
- ⚠️ Requirement: You MUST show a Bank Statement for the visa.
