Scholarships

Yes. Every scholarship listed on SchollyJob is completely free to apply for. No processing fee, no registration fee, no consultant required. If any step asks for payment before you receive an official award notification, it is a scam. See our full guide for more.

A fully funded scholarship covers at minimum: tuition fees in full, a monthly living stipend, and return international travel. The best programs also include health insurance, accommodation, a travel grant, and in some cases a language course. Always verify exactly what is covered by reading the official program documentation.

Acceptance rates vary widely. Chevening accepts roughly 3–5% of applicants. DAAD acceptance rates depend on the specific program but are generally higher for less-popular fields. Stipendium Hungaricum accepts approximately 25%. Our guides give honest competitiveness assessments for each program.

Yes, and you should. We recommend targeting 4–6 programs per cycle, each genuinely tailored to that program's specific mandate. Building a portfolio of applications is standard practice among successful scholarship recipients.
