Requirements For School and Scholarship Application
1. Completed scholarship application form
Carefully check and accurately fill in all the sections of the application form correctly
2. Copy of passport/ID
The passport must be valid for at least six months after your departure and only a copy of the main page of the passport, containing your photo and personal information is sufficient
3. Copies of transcripts/diplomas
Send the transcript of records from the last school you graduated or currently attending (high-school if you apply for a Bachelor degree or Bachelor diploma and records if you apply for a graduate Master course). The transcript of records is a photocopied page of all your courses and grades and credits that you achieved for each course. This document should have an official signature and stamp from your school or faculty.
If you apply for a scholarship for an Erasmus programme, you should have already completed two semesters of studies.
Proof of English language proficiency (or other language – the one that is used as medium of instruction for the study programme you chose)
for English it can be: IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge
Spanish: DELE
French: DELF or DALF
German: DSH, TestDaF, OSD, telc
4. Statement of purpose/Letter of motivation
This statement should contain only one page, around 400 words in which you explain your reasons why you applied to the chosen degree course and how it relates to your future studies and career goals. In this statement/letter of motivation, it is important to be honest and not inflate with anything. You should also briefly present your qualities and how they would fit with the degree you selected.
5. Letter of recommendation (2 or more)
Usually, it’s just one, but in some cases, you may be asked to provide two letters of recommendation. The letter(s) of recommendation should only come from one of your teachers/lecturers or employer/person that supervised your work (volunteering work counts as well). This letter gives the scholarship provider more information about your qualities, skills, intellectual capacity and it can also reflect your desire or motivation for the degree course and/or university you chose.
6. CV (Curriculum Vitae)/Resume
Even if you don’t have any work experience at the moment you apply for a scholarship, you can simply include all your study experiences, hobbies, interests, achievements and social skills. Remember to include all the languages that you know (including language certificates), but be honest about your proficiency level; add computer skills, volunteering work and any other courses that you completed (even short courses), especially if they are connected with your study field.
7. Standardized test scores
SAT, ACT, GRE, GPA and other test scores can be an important factor when the university considers who they give the scholarship to. Most often, high scores are the ones that count first and foremost; however, the scholarship offer is rated based on a holistic approach, after taking all the relevant documents into consideration.
