For getting into foreign universities, students are generally required to maintain /build up a good portfolio showcasing their grades, extra curricular activities and social work from 9th to 12th grades. some universities give scholarships based on an excellent portfolio. Other colleges ask you to write a 1000-2000 words essay on the topics chosen by them or on the topic “why do you deserve this scholarship“. These essays are a deciding factor for your scholarship.

If you are planning to study in the US, you can fill out the CSS form if you want financial aid but international students can only get aid in private colleges in the US so make a mental note of that.

On the other hand, if you’re planning to study in UK, most colleges there provide scholarship based on your performance in the first year so mostly you won’t be getting any scholarship until you’re in the second year.

Good luck with your admissions!
