5. Loans:

- Educational loans should be considered as your last resort due to the obligation of repayment. However, they can be a viable option if scholarships and work-study programs don't fully cover your expenses.

- Always ensure you understand the loan terms, interest rates, and repayment conditions before applying. Look for student-friendly loans with flexible repayment options.


6. Apply Early:

- Scholarship deadlines often end before admission deadlines therefore starting your search early gives you ample time to prepare your applications, gather necessary documents, and submit on time.

- Early applications also show your commitment and can sometimes give you an edge over late applicants.


7. Networking and Research:

- Connect with current international students and alumni who have successfully secured scholarships. They can provide valuable insights, tips, and firsthand experiences.

- Additionally, use online platforms like Branding 360, forums, and social media groups dedicated to study abroad scholarships to stay updated on new opportunities.
