Growing up, I never thought I would leave the shores of my state, talk less of leaving my country to study abroad for my masters. This was a dream only the children of wealthy politicians could dream of. However, after landing a fully funded scholarship for my masters in Germany, I have a change of mind and I see gaining fully funded scholarships is possible with the right structure, preparation and mindset. So Below are 4 tips that can help you gain fully funded scholarship to study abroad:
1. Prepare from your high school or University days.
One of the major requirement of most prestigious scholarships is high academic performance your previous education. If you are applying for a bachelors scholarship, then you have to show an outstanding secondary/high school results, and if you are aiming for a masters scholarship you have to show a brilliant university performance for your first degree. Usually a First class or second class upper (2.1) put you in an advantageous position. Having a second class lower greatly decreases your chances, well lets not talk about having a third class, but I know you got the point. So put in the work early and you will reap the fruits later. Nevertheless a few scholarships do not consider academic merits (ie Need based scholarships) so if your results are good or poor you can consider such.
2. Get involved in volunteering and community development
Aside from academic merits, most scholarship commitee pay attention to your commitment to others, through volunteering activities and other community development engagements. When you engage in such, make sure there is a proof. i.e certificate of participant or other form of documentation, As such document might be requested during the scholarship application. I advice you upload such document, regardless if they are requested or not.
3. Your letter of motivation is a key
Your letter of motivation or essay or letter of interest has the key to open the door of your scholarship success. Make sure to capitalize on this. The letter of motivation alone should be able to convince the scholarship board that you deserve to be given a change. Your story must be unique and align with your educational background, work experience and future plans to stand a better chance.

However, its important to apply to multiple eligible scholarships to increase your chances.
