Start with the full picture.
Build a budget that includes tuition, mandatory fees, living expenses, health insurance, travel, and personal costs. Use figures for your intended program and intake directly from the institution.
Scholarships
Research awards through the institution or named provider. Check eligibility, award coverage, selection criteria, renewal conditions, and whether a separate application is required.
Assistantships
Explore teaching and research assistantships through the graduate department. Ask about duties, workload, stipend, tuition support, fees, and the length of the appointment. Availability varies by program.
Fellowships and external awards
Check the provider’s country eligibility, degree requirements, restrictions, and application process. Read the original terms rather than relying on a social post or directory summary.
