Study Abroad Scholarships

If you are a woman, this post may be more useful for you, than for a man.

So you want to pursue higher education abroad. At this point, you must have an idea of the kind of tuition fees that universities charge. For example, an MS in Computer Science from the US (2-year program) would cost you $30,000 – $50,000. This will help you with more information about Computer Science programs in North America (the USA and Canada).

The scholarships/fellowships that I have covered here are mostly for studying in North America and provide at least $10,000. There are several other scholarships of $1,000 – $10,000 which you can find in some of the links at the end of this post.

For any assistance with writing the application materials for a scholarship, or your master’s application, please do contact me.
