50+ Fully Funded Scholarships for International Students to Study Abroad for Free

Today, I’ll tell you more than Fifty Fully Funded Scholarship opportunities around the world specifically in Canada, UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe (Hungary, Portugal, Austria, Romania, Ireland, Italy, Norway, and Germany).

I will only be sharing scholarships that will cover your 100% tuition and scholarships that will cover your tuition, accommodation, travel, books, groceries, meals, medicinal costs and go on to even pay you a monthly stipend for your personal expenses.

Basically, I won’t sharing any partial scholarships in this video which can cover your tuition anywhere from 10% to 90% because there are literally so many of them and it would take me years to cover them all as almost all universities in the world offer some form of scholarship to their students.

Before moving forward, if you’re like me who prefers videos and graphics over text, you can watch my video on the same topic down below 👇.

Background

The 100% scholarships I will be sharing today are the ones I found out while I was applying to universities abroad. In high school, I knew my family won’t be able to afford my education in foreign universities and so I said to myself “I will study at any university as long as it offers me a full tuition scholarship or a full ride scholarship.” And so I researched and found out all these scholarships which I will be sharing with you today.

Obviously, I didn’t apply to all of them and I won’t recommend you to do so but since this year’s college admission cycle has already begun, I thought my scholarship list would be a lot helpful for you guys looking to fulfill your dreams but are not aware of these wonderful scholarship opportunities.

Types of Scholarships

Even though I am saying fully funded scholarships or 100% scholarships, what I really mean is full financial assistance offered by different universities, countries, foundations and private organizations in the form of scholarships, financial aid, bursaries, initiatives, stipends etc.

These methods of financial assistance are pretty much the same in the way that someone is giving you money to complete your studies, but there are major differences in the expectations, eligibility criteria, application process, terms and conditions, deadlines and consideration of your family’s financial situation. Therefore, you’ll find official links to all the scholarships down below. Don’t forget to check them out for specific details and don’t forget to read them thoroughly before applying.

Now before we get started, I’d like to tell you that these scholarships are only for students who are starting their undergraduate studies after completing high school and they are not for transfer students or graduate students.

Moreover, there are a lot of scholarships specifically for American Students, European Citizens, ASEAN citizens, students from developing nations, but in this post, I have tried my best to share scholarships that are open to all nationalities and international students from anywhere in the world can apply to them, but in some cases local students who are residing in the same country, where the scholarships is being offered are not eligible to apply.

Ok, that’s enough for details. Here are 50+ Fully Funded Scholarships.
