FAQ

Scholarship Guru is a centralized, AI-enhanced search engine designed specifically for global educational funding. We help students, researchers, and academics discover highly vetted, fully and partially funded scholarships, fellowships, and internships in one easy-to-use platform.

No. Scholarship Guru is an independent educational directory and aggregator. We do not fund, manage, or select the winners for any of the opportunities listed on our platform. Our mission is simply to connect you with the official providers (like governments and universities) faster and more efficiently.

Yes! Our platform is 100% free for students and researchers. You do not need to pay to search our database or access the official application links. We believe that finding funding for your education should never cost you money.

We take your security very seriously. Every opportunity in our database undergoes a strict vetting process. We only list reputable government, university, and NGO scholarships, and we always provide the direct link to the official provider’s website at the bottom of every listing so you can verify the details yourself.

Our search engine is designed to be as precise as possible. On our homepage, simply use the three step-by-step dropdown menus:

1. First, select the Opportunity Type (e.g., Scholarship, Internship, Fellowship).

2. Next, select your Degree Level (e.g., Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD).

3. Finally, select your desired Host Country. The system will instantly filter our database to show you exactly what is available based on your unique criteria!

No. Because we are a search engine, you cannot apply through our website. When you find a scholarship you like, scroll to the “Contact/Official Link” section at the bottom of the page. Clicking that link will take you directly to the official government or university portal where you will submit your actual application.

Unfortunately, no. Because we do not manage the scholarships, we have zero control over application deadlines. Deadlines are strictly enforced by the official funding bodies. We highly recommend applying well in advance!

While the exact definition varies depending on the specific government or university, a “fully funded” scholarship generally covers your full tuition fees, a monthly living stipend, accommodation, and sometimes round-trip airfare and health insurance. Always read the official provider’s website for the exact financial breakdown.

Eligibility criteria (such as nationality, age limits, GPA requirements, and language proficiency) are completely different for every single scholarship. We provide a summary of the “Criteria” on each of our pages, but you must always check the official provider’s guidelines to ensure you qualify before applying.

At this current time, Scholarship Guru focuses entirely on providing the most accurate, easy-to-use search engine for finding opportunities. We do not currently offer personalized application consulting or document review services.
