The Truth about Scholarships to Study Abroad

Below is a message for all students who are finishing their school or beginning their studies at the university. For those who want to have international experiences because they understand the relevance that this has on a personal, academic and professional level. To leave the country to study or to be trained in anything, more than money, you need the desire and preparation.

The Truth about Scholarships to Study Abroad

Scholarships are a financial support that governments or private entities make so that one can have these international opportunities. But why would someone sponsor our studies and our trips? Scholarships are currently a form of international cooperation between countries to train future leaders who can continue to contribute to national and global development. Just as countries lend money at ‘preferential’ interest rates, donations are made and military forces are sent, they also educate each other on issues that benefit them together.

The scenarios vary but in general terms we can classify the scholarships in two types:

  1. When a foreign country trains you to return to our country of origin and act as a knowledge multiplier.
  2. When a foreign country trains one to stay and contribute in that country, since the local population is not interested in that area of ​​knowledge or because they have a greater demand for talent than the current offer in that field.

This means that scholarships are NOT granted because of a need of the applicant, but because of an interest of the offeror to benefit or benefit a friendly nation. This breaks a very important myth about scholarships, and is that they are not exclusive to people with economic problems. No. To win a scholarship you do not have to give pity, but show that you deserve it and that you are the best investment (even if you really have money problems).
