[Sean143]

Was looking for Masters scholarships, know about a few myself, but don't wanna miss out on any.

So here are a few scholarships that I know of.
Fulbright(USA)
Eiffel (France)
DAAD(but demands experience)Germany

I would like you to name any such scholarships that you know of, as this might be of help to a lot of people here.

Check Erasmus Mundus scholarship too.

Btw if you apply in Italy in top unis like Milano, Torino they give full scholarship depending on how good you are. They have different categories of scholarships.

Studies in Finland and Germany are almost free but you have bear the living expenses. There are some top unis in these countries. My friend studied from Helsinki uni and got a job immediately. Downside is the weather. Germany is leading in studies these days. They have Tu9 universities (9 top German technical universities) and you can easily find jobs in Germany too. Plus in Germany while you are a student you can find student jobs in companies while studying (not odd jobs) which will add to your experience too and you can manage your expenses. Students do student jobs in top companies like Intel, Apple etc.

Netherlands has top unis like Endhoven and TU Delft which provide full scholarship but for that you have to be exceptional.

Korea has top unis like KAIST which provide full scholarship. Universities in Singapore like NUS provide scholarship.

And this i am talking only about top universities, there will be many other scholarships too.

I wish you good luck.

Also check out KU Leuven Belgium, EPFL Switzerland, and ETH Zurich Switzerland. In KU Leuven the fee was not that much. If you are very good you can get scholarship in these 2 top Swiss unis too.

Sweeden has Chalmers and KTH but they have student fee now but you can apply for scholarship and some do get full scholarship.

If you speak German then universities in Germany are essentially free even for international students. A friend of mine took a year off after his bachelor's from NUST and studied German. He then went to some uni in Germany and now works at Mercedes.


So moral of the story, learn German!

Interesting. How do the people who work at the universities get paid? There are so many people to pay. Professors, admin staff, maintenance staff, security, etc etc. Not to mention, utilities like electricity, water etc. Where is the money coming from to cover these expenses? The money has to come from somewhere since its not coming from tuition fees.

The government

The government

The government would like people to believe that. But, they do not pay for anything. The taxpayers are the ones paying.

I know but it works for Germany, they aren't America.

If the taxpayers are paying for everything and they are the ones going to these universities, how is it free?

It sounds similar to what we have. Schooling k-12 is "free", but taxpayers are paying for them.

Cause you graduate debt free, imagine a big chunk of your paycheck not going to student loans.

The parents (tax payers) of the students are paying the tuition essentially. So the situation is not too dissimilar to the US.

I agree with you on the student debt. One of the worst things a young person can do. Getting into debt at a young age. Cannot believe that the govt (in the US) loans tens of thousands of $$ to teenagers.

Stimmt, Menschen in Kanada sollten ihre Franzözisch wegwerfen und die echte Meistersprache der Welt lernen
