FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our Financial Guidance service.

How much does it typically cost to study abroad?

The cost varies significantly depending on the country, city, university, and program. For example, studying in the US typically costs $20,000-$50,000 per year for tuition alone, while countries like Germany offer free or low-cost education. Living expenses range from $8,000-$25,000 per year depending on the location. We provide detailed cost breakdowns for your specific situation during our financial guidance sessions.

What types of scholarships are available for international students?

International students can access various scholarship types including merit-based scholarships (based on academic excellence), need-based scholarships (based on financial need), country-specific scholarships, university-specific scholarships, government scholarships, and organization-sponsored scholarships. Our counselors help identify opportunities that match your specific profile and eligibility criteria.

Do I need a financial guarantor for my student visa application?

Most countries require proof of sufficient funds for your education and living expenses as part of the student visa application process. This often involves showing bank statements, scholarship letters, or a financial guarantor. Requirements vary by country, and we provide specific guidance based on your destination country's regulations.

Can I work part-time while studying abroad to support my finances?

Work regulations for international students vary by country. Most countries allow students to work part-time during the academic year (typically 20 hours per week) and full-time during breaks. We provide detailed information about work rights, restrictions, and typical student wages in your chosen destination.

How can I reduce the cost of studying abroad without compromising quality?

Several strategies can help reduce costs, including choosing universities in smaller cities with lower living costs, applying to countries with lower or no tuition fees, pursuing scholarships aggressively, considering community colleges for the first two years (in the US), and exploring work-study programs. Our counselors can help you develop a personalized cost-reduction strategy.
