Introduction
If you’ve ever searched online for an international fellowship, grant or internship, you do have probably experienced the same cycle many applicants go through.
You find an opportunity that looks perfect.
The benefits sound incredible: full funding, travel expenses, accommodation, a monthly stipend, networking with global professionals, maybe even a chance to work with respected organizations- but are they true?
“Could this be real?”
“Will they ask me to pay an application fee?”
“Do I even stand a chance?”
These are the questions when doubt creeped in, and they are completely understandable.
Because the internet is filled with both life-changing opportunities and convincing scams today, more than ever.
Still,Knowing the difference can save you time, money and disappointment.
One encouraging news is that thousands of genuine fellowships, grants and internships are awarded every year.
Many of them are open to applicants from developing countries, recent graduates, professionals and even students with little or no international experience.
The key isn’t applying everywhere. It is applying strategically.
