Private scholarships

Thus, the biggest opportunities for financial support abroad are offered by various private scholarships (especially in the USA).

If you want to complete a postgraduate course abroad, you can contact the university of your choice directly and inquire about the respective funding options - these, however, are often reserved for local students. However, individual universities award individual grants. Similar to the study places, some of these are allocated according to the principle that "first come, first paint" - so it is worth applying as early as possible!
