How to apply  Fees and costs Scholarships for international students

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 four types of scholarship opportunities through Kaplan International Pathways. 

Scholarship options are specific to each institution and may have limitations in terms of how much money the scholarships award and how many people they can be offered to. Some must be applied for separately, while you are automatically considered for others upon application or admission to your chosen university.
