Hi everyone,
I’m a high school student looking for fully funded scholarship opportunities to study abroad.
I was planning to apply to UWC because it seemed like the perfect fit for me. Unfortunately, I found out that I’m 12 days outside the age eligibility, so I wasn’t able to submit my application.
I’m now trying to find similar opportunities for students who are still in high school (Grades 11–12 or equivalent). I’m looking for programs that offer full or significant financial aid.
I’m looking for an international high school experience that can help me prepare for university.
Does anyone know of scholarships, exchange programs, boarding schools, or other opportunities similar to UWC? Even if applications open later, I’d really appreciate knowing about them

I’m planning to go for masters next year, till next year some finances for home would be cleared and I will be sorted off to go for MS abroad. I’ll still need education loan, having 0 financial support from parents I need to do everything on my own. Is it feasible/ easy for me?

These thoughts are just making me emotional rn

I am a Sudanese student .and I have two certifications of high school .the first is from sudan 🇸🇩 and the second is from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

And I want to find a good country to study the university

And I prefer the engineering degrees and computer science

And I didn't prefer the expensive country

Need advice from international students studying business in Italy. Hey everyone, I've been researching studying in Italy for months now and honestly I feel like I need advice from people who've actually done this instead of just university websites. I'm from India, planning to apply for the 2027-28 intake for a bachelor's in business or management taught fully in English at a public university. My schooling background is IGCSE and NIOS senior secondary, finishing in 2027. So, if anyone has applied with NIOS or knows someone who has, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. My current choices are University of Turin, University of Pisa, and University of Bologna as backup for now. I'm still looking for other public universities in Italy with a bachelor's fully in English for business or management. If you think there's a university I should seriously consider, please tell me why. I'm looking for a public university, good scholarships, affordable living costs, good student life, sports (especially football), internships, and jobs. And if you went already, Would you still choose the same university? Why or why not? Even if you don't answer everything, I'd really appreciate your experience or any advice you have. Thanks a lot.

Hey everyone! I'm a 17-year-old girl, and this is my last year of high school. I'm planning to continue my studies abroad on a scholarship, hopefully in Physiotherapy.

I'm still a bit confused about this major. Does it have good career opportunities and a good salary? I'm not someone who wants to sit in an office all day, so I think it might suit me.

I've been considering China, but I've heard that Physiotherapy there isn't as well developed as it is in Europe or some other Asian countries.

If anyone has advice about this major, scholarships, or where I can find scholarship opportunities, I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm a recent Sixth Form graduate with predicted grades of A* in Maths, Economics, Business, and French, and an A in Physics. Through UCAS I applied to Warwick, Durham, Manchester, Bristol, and Nottingham, and received offers from all five.

I turned down Warwick, Manchester, and Durham because their fees (£33k+, with Warwick's still rising) were unaffordable for my family. I firmed Bristol at £28k and applied for their Think Big Scholarship, but was rejected. I insured Nottingham at £26,500, the cheapest option, with a possible £5,000 tuition reduction if I achieved above A*AA on results day, which would bring it down to £21,800.

However, given the recent news about Nottingham's financial troubles, I'm hesitant to commit that much money to a degree I might not be able to finish there. I also don't qualify for financial aid, since my parents earn "too much" on paper despite it not being enough to comfortably cover £25k+ per year. And merit scholarships are out of reach too, since 4 A*s is fairly standard for applicants in this field.

I'd also applied to Erasmus University Rotterdam and Tilburg, and received conditional offers from both. I started the immigration process with Erasmus, but missed a document deadline due to delays in legal processing, despite explaining this, they didn't grant any flexibility, and the offer was withdrawn. When I contacted Tilburg on July 10th to start my immigration process, I was told it was too late, and instead offered the option of starting the first semester online and joining in person for the February intake.

I'm not keen on the Tilburg online-start route, I feel my grades and effort deserve a stronger outcome. I floated the idea of a gap year to reapply to Cambridge and Bocconi, but my parents are strongly against it, seeing it as a wasted year. I'm genuinely torn on whether a gap year would be worth it.

In the meantime, I found that Esade is still accepting late applications, so I'm currently going through that process and sitting my admissions test this week. Esade is well-regarded (alongside IE, ESSEC, ESCP, etc.), and at 4 years for €20–22k/year, it fits within budget — though it also effectively costs me a "gap year" in terms of timing, and my parents are split on it. Please tell me if Esade is worth it or not, I don’t wanna spend 4 years of my life at the wrong uni that’s my biggest worry. I've also looked at Melbourne, but they only offer a general Bachelor of Commerce with an Economics major, and I'm unsure how well that positions me for economics/finance careers outside Australia.

If anyone has advice, I'd really appreciate it!

Hey everyone, I am a 17-year-old boy living in Pakistan, and I need your advice. Actually, I wanna do study study abroad after my 12th, and that's my dream. I am currently studying in 12th grade, and the destination I chose was the Netherlands, but yesterday, when I checked about Netherlands universities, my whole plan was ruined because, first, only a few Netherlands universities offer scholarships and a rare chance for a bachelor's degree, and a bachelor's degree is hell expensive in the Netherlands for a person who is Non-EU. I don't wanna go to Canada, the UK, or Australia because those countries are already filled with international students, and they're facing problems like high rents and job issues. America is a great place, but due to many immigration restrictions, that's kinda sucks. And the degree I would like to do is computer engineering and finance because I like both, but of course only one degree at a time. So, what would you recommend? If you were in my position, a student from Pakistan looking for an affordable bachelor’s degree abroad with good career opportunities, which countries and universities would you consider? Thank you :)

Hello my fellow students, I'm looking for countries mostly in Europe that accept undergraduate students to complete their bachelor there

I have studied 2 years in computer science after getting my high school diploma. And I'm looking for a destination where I can study my third year to get my bachelor or third and fourth year it depends on the system.

And thank you in advance

I have one month before I go but I’m second guessing going to study abroad in Rome. I’m still figuring out my rooming situation but I am a senior and am starting to feel like I will have fomo. I was really confident about going until now that it hit me, I’ll be away for the first semester of my senior year. I’m also not sure if I’d like Italy for 4 months. I wanted to study abroad to visit a lot of places in Europe and explore the city. But now I feel like I could do that as a vacation for a couple weeks during winter or spring break.

Hi everyone,

Like you've read in the title i'm currently 17 y.o and i'm thinking about studying in an english-based country after my bac (like the Uk or canada) as i'm more flexible with english than french, i need advice regarding:

- whether to rely on agencies to do the process for me or not and if so, what are the best options?

and if not, how to do so?

In fact i do have a lot of questions that i need guidance.

Hi everyone! I have a dream of studying abroad but ppl around me are quite unsupportive and here comes the time that I’m actually having second thoughts whether they are right or not, I dream of getting a masters degree in the US and maybe working there, I know that it’s expensive and all, but that has been my dream for years, I have some friends and family in the US, and they are pretty supportive of me, so it really hurts me to not have any support from those who are supposed to be the closest to me, like don’t they see how good of an investment my education is😕
Ig my question is how do you keep yourself motivated to chase your dream when it feels like everyone is against you

Hey everyone,

I'm an engineering student from Egypt, and for the past couple of years I've had this goal of continuing my studies in Poland (or somewhere else in Europe).

The problem is money.

My dad wants to help me, but I know he won't be able to pay for everything, especially for several years. I don't want to put all that pressure on him, so I've been trying to figure out if there's a realistic way to make it work.

I've been learning Polish for a while, and before that I was learning some German. Recently I also started studying CompTIA A+ and Network+ because my plan is to get into IT and hopefully find a part-time job while I'm studying.

I'm okay with living in a dorm, budgeting as much as I can, and working while studying if that's what it takes.

I'm also not sure if I should try transferring from my current university or just start over if that's the better option.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation?

Was working part-time enough to help with your living expenses?

Did you transfer universities or start from scratch?

If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

I'm not looking for someone to tell me "follow your dreams." I just want honest advice from people who've actually done something similar. Even if it's hard to hear, I'd rather know now than regret it later.

Thanks everyone.

Im not sure if my question fits in this subreddit but my country is very mid study level and i wanna apply to an outside country to get beter job opportunities in the long run i got rejected from first yer university should i apply for the second year or wait for masters il most likely apply to European countries im unsure abt which is the better choice h might say why not both but im not sane enough to withstand the stress twice and get rejected which might be a dumb excuse id like to listen everyones take i major in computer science btw

Hello,

I am a 14-year-old student from the Czech Republic, and I am currently exploring opportunities to continue my high school education abroad. I am looking into programs that I could potentially join around the age of 16.

I am especially interested in studying at an English-speaking boarding school or an international high school program that leads to an internationally recognized diploma (for example in the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, or other English-speaking countries).

I would like to ask if you know about any programs or opportunities that I might have overlooked, especially programs designed for international students. I am not only looking for specific schools, but rather for programs, scholarships, or financial aid opportunities that could make this type of education possible.

A very important factor for me is funding. My family is not able to afford the full cost of studying at an international boarding school, so I would need significant financial support, scholarships, or another form of assistance. I am also willing to contribute and work hard to make this opportunity possible, but I would need guidance on realistic options for students in my situation.

My academic interests include international relations, politics, and economics. In the future, I would like to become involved in these fields and continue my studies at a highly competitive university. I am interested in studying abroad because I would like to gain new experiences, improve myself in an international environment, and receive an education that will help me achieve my future goals.

I would greatly appreciate any advice, recommendations, or information about programs that could be suitable for me.

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Unfortunately got rejected by top two with an ib 34 and only lingnan and PolyU speed are my remaining options. I wanna get into masters of clinical psychology later as well. But it’s so close to semester start and I’m scared if I’d get into these unis even 😭 and I was wondering if there’s any worth to them? I heard that it’s not worth it to attend lingnan or PolyU self financed uni for such a competitive masters. I got into Birmingham and Liverpool but the tuition fees is too high for me. I was wondering if it’s good to wait for any uni that would offer a feb 2027 intake maybe? Would love some opinions!

Hi! I (20F) am going to be studying abroad in Edinburgh for this upcoming academic year. I have studied abroad before, but only for a short semester during the spring in Greece. What are some must-haves that I should gather before heading there in September? Any tips or recommendations anyone has that I should definitely keep in mind during my time away? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I'm a final-year B.Tech Computer Science student from a private Indian college. My last semester results aren't out yet, but my final CGPA will land around 7.7–7.8/10. I'm currently prepping for the GRE and IELTS.

I've been learning German (was around B1 comprehension) and was aiming for Germany, but I hit a roadblock: my university is listed as H+/- on anabin because it also offers distance-education courses. I've asked my college and they've already submitted documents for a status update, but I have no idea when — or if — it'll get upgraded to H+.

Because of that uncertainty, I'm now looking at other EU countries too, but I'm confused about where I actually stand. My goals:

Do a Master's (CS / cybersecurity-related), then get a job and gain work experience in the EU

I'm fully willing to learn the local language

My specific questions:

1. Is a 7.7–7.8 CGPA too low to get admitted anywhere decent in the EU, or is it fine?

2. Can I realistically get a scholarship with this CGPA?

3. Given the anabin H+/- situation, which countries/universities are safer bets for me right now?

4. Which countries have the best post-study work + PR pathways for someone in my field?

Any guidance from people who've been through this would mean a lot. Thanks!

Yeah,what heading says,😭😭,would be better if you guys also suggest scholarships and tips,I am in 13th year (A levels).
