The world of scholarships

Have you ever considered to study in Spain? It would be the best way to complement your studies (of any degree) that you have done in your country, wouldn’t it? What is it that stops you? Yes, I understand. Normally the main obstacle that people encounter is the lack of economic resources when moving to another country and suffer the change of currency or price difference compared to your home country. For those we propose a very simple solution. Scholarships!

The world of scholarship holders is beautiful and complicated at the same time. You know many people from various corners and go back to your college age. To obtain a scholarship, it is necessary to do a little internet search, send an application and comply with the requirements proposed by the organisation responsible for providing the scholarship to those who request it. We did a search for you and we found some scholarships that might interest you. Obviously, these are not all that are available, but at least we can give you an idea. An idea that might awake an enormous interest in you and even change your life!
Who did not know the ERASMUS+ scholarships that had provided studies or internships outside of their home country to so many people already? Erasmus is known everywhere in Europe and Spain is one of the most demanded countries it comes to choosing the student’s destination. Nevertheless, this is not the only programme that makes international mobility possible.

Turespaña is another national programme funded by the Spanish Government that offers both theoretical studies and work experiences in the tourism sector and the promotion of Spain as a tourist destination. If you would like to come to Spain to do something a little more scientific, Fundación La Caixa offers the perfect scholarships for you. Those who would like to do research in the in the fields of biotechnologies, health, mathematics or technology should find out more about this option.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation manages various scholarships that can serve a fairly broad public. Of course, allowing you to be a foreigner. You can opt for scholarship for those who want to study at university or do internships in different fields (graphic design, editing and publication in the AECID- Spanish Agency for International Cooperation for Development) and places related to the Real Academia Española- there is even one in Rome!

If you would like to take a short-term course, we suggest that you apply for the summer courses organised by the University of La Coruña. They last 3 weeks and you can get a scholarship to participate in them.
Obtaining a scholarship is always a process that requires some effort. You have to search online to see if there are scholarships that meet your expectations and at the same time that you fulfil the requirements proposed by the companies that offer the financial support and, of course, meet the deadline for registration. I will tell you that it does not matter where you do your internship, the most important thing is that it is what you are looking for and can widen your horizons in the field you want. After all, all your stays outside your comfort zone are experiences that shape you personally, academically or in the work dimension. A scholarship is a unique opportunity to get to know yourself, to find what you want to do and give you some security when it comes to entering the labour market fully.

As stared above, there are many different types of financial aids aimed at many nationalities and ages. The only thing that you have to do know is to sit back and decide, which one to choose and send the application. Good luck!
