Scholarships & Education Loans
Reduce the cost of studying abroad with scholarships you qualify for and a sensible funding plan built around your budget.
Ways to Fund Your Studies
Most international students combine several sources: a university award, family savings, an education loan and part-time income.
Merit-based
Awarded by universities for strong academics, test scores or achievements, often as tuition fee reductions.
Government-funded
Prestigious, fully funded programmes run by governments to attract future leaders and researchers.
Research funding
Assistantships, stipends and fee waivers for research master's and PhD students.
Need & country-specific
Awards for particular regions, under-represented groups, women in STEM and more.

How We Help You Win Scholarships
- Matching your profile to scholarships you can realistically win
- A deadline calendar, since many awards close 8–12 months before the intake
- Guidance on scholarship essays, leadership statements and personal statements
- Referee briefing for strong recommendation letters
- Interview practice for shortlisted candidates
- Applying early to universities that award automatic entrance scholarships
Tip: Scholarships alone rarely cover all costs. Visa officers expect to see your full funding plan, so build one that works even without the scholarship.
Education Loan Guidance
We help you compare lenders, understand the terms and prepare the paperwork, including the loan sanction letters often used as proof of funds.
Secured loans
Backed by collateral such as property or fixed deposits.
- Higher loan amounts
- Generally lower interest rates
- Longer repayment periods
- Require property valuation and legal checks
Unsecured loans
No collateral is required. Approval is based on your academic profile, chosen university and co-applicant's income.
- Faster processing
- Higher interest rates
- Amounts depend on university and course
- A strong co-applicant credit score is important
GlobEdu does not lend money. Loan approval, interest rates and terms are decided solely by the lending institution.
