Scholarships for international students

We understand that studying abroad is a big investment in your future. To open this incredible opportunity to even more people by making it more affordable, there are many scholarship opportunities through Kaplan International Pathways. 

Scholarship awards are specific to each institution and there may be limits to money available and how many students they can be offered to. Some scholarships must be applied for separately, while you are automatically considered for others upon admission.
