Additionally, you may need to be a resident of and study in a country that falls under the list of eligible countries for obtaining a scholarship. There are a few scholarships that are granted based on your IELTS scores as well. A few universities also consider your participation in extracurricular activities, volunteering, and other activities as criteria for granting scholarships.

On top of all these, you need to apply without any mistakes and also within the deadline. You should apply for the scholarships from the official website of the institution directly.
