GLOBAL SCHOLARSHIPS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Application Deadline: May 31st, 2027

LOCATION: Germany

GlobalScholarships.com scholarships are for the Fall 2027 studies and are offered to any eligible prospective or current international student studying in Fall 2027. Their mission is to make scholarships accessible and transparent, and they would like to take one step closer to that mission by offering an external scholarship for a prospective international student.

ELIGIBILITY:

International students planning to pursue their studies outside their home country.

You must meet ALL of the following to be eligible:

You must be an international student; that is, you cannot be a citizen or a permanent resident of a country that you will be studying in Fall 2027.

You must be a current or a prospective student who will be enrolled in a postsecondary degree program (Diploma, Associate’s, Bachelor’s, master’s, or Ph.D., as well as professional programs like law and medicine) in Fall 2027.

They are looking to give this scholarship to a student who has best maximized their potential given their circumstances and will continue to maximize their potential in the future. By “maximizing their potential given their circumstances,” a student who comes from an affluent family and has maximized their potential in one way or another is just as qualified for this scholarship as a student from an impoverished family who also has done the same. They take more of a holistic approach in giving this scholarship, with a combination of merit, writing skills, and the essay describing what they look for in a candidate. They take financial needs into consideration only in the light of “maximizing their potential given their circumstances.”

Application Materials:

A short Google form

500 – 700 word essay on “Describe your educational journey, emphasizing how you have maximized your potential given your circumstances.” In addition, please tell us how you plan to continue to do so after your degree.” – Submitted in PDF file in the Google Form

Selection Process:

They will notify the 3-5 finalists on June 15th – 30th. The finalists will be asked to provide

A copy of their passport with their passport number covered

An acceptance letter from a prospective student or proof of attendance from current students

A written agreement to fulfill social media responsibilities if selected as a winner

Finalists have 10 days to submit those materials from the date that they’ve notified them. After they have received those materials, they may ask the finalists to go on a short Zoom interview call. The winner will be announced on July 15th – 25th.

BENEFIT:

Scholarship Value: $3,000

Countering the tactics used by U.S. adversaries to incite conflict and undermine U.S. influence in countries of strategic importance.
