SCHOLARSHIP DEADLINES

Deadlines come early.

Many scholarship deadlines fall long before admission closes, and some a year or more before your course starts. Learn the typical windows, track your own dates and never lose an award to a missed deadline.

The best application is the one that is finished before the deadline.

Please note. This page gives planning windows, not official dates. Every scholarship sets its own opening and closing dates, which change each year. Always confirm the exact deadline, and the time zone, on the awarding body's official page. We cannot guarantee any scholarship.

WHY SO EARLY?

Four reasons deadlines surprise students.

Separate from admission

Scholarship dates are often different from, and earlier than, university admission dates.

Long selection

Competitive awards need time for shortlisting, interviews and decisions.

Documents take time

References, transcripts and test scores can take weeks to arrange.

Funds are limited

Some awards are allocated in rounds, so earlier can be better.

Deadlines, explained.

All scholarship FAQs →

When should I start looking?

Ideally 12 to 18 months before your course starts, as some deadlines are a year or more ahead.

Is the scholarship deadline the same as the admission deadline?

Often not. Scholarship deadlines can be earlier, so check each award's own page.

Where do I find the exact date?

On the official website of the university, government or awarding organisation. Do not rely on third-party lists alone.

Can deadlines change?

Yes. Dates can change from year to year, so recheck the official page regularly.

Can you guarantee a scholarship?

No. Only the awarding organisation decides. We help you plan and prepare strong applications.
