seeking advice for scholarships and work-study programs
Currently planning to do my Cambridge A levels; the Oct/Nov 2024 session.. Thinking of heading abroad for university, ideally with a fully funded scholarship—Google's not been much help. Also, I'm eyeing a mix of university and work alongside, focusing on Human Resource Management (HRM).Any tips on scholarship hunts or HRM programs that could help me fund my university journey if i couldnt find a satisfactory scholarship.Could use a hand figuring this out!<3

Dear Sanilia,
It's fantastic that you're planning ahead for your Cambridge A levels and considering a future in Human Resource Management (HRM). Pursuing higher education abroad with a fully funded scholarship is an admirable goal, and I'm here to provide some guidance:
1. Scholarship Hunting:
Databases: Explore scholarship databases like Chevening, Commonwealth Scholarships, and websites of international universities. These platforms often list scholarship opportunities for international students.
University Websites: Visit the official websites of the universities you're interested in. Many institutions offer merit-based scholarships or have dedicated pages for international student financial aid.
Government Scholarships: Check with your country's government for scholarship programs that support students studying abroad.
Professional Organizations: Some HR-related professional organizations may offer scholarships. Additionally, check if there are HR associations specific to the countries or regions you're interested in.
2. Work-Study Programs:
University Programs: Some universities offer work-study programs as part of their financial aid package. These programs allow students to work part-time on campus while pursuing their studies.
Part-Time Jobs: Look into local job markets in the country where you plan to study. Certain countries allow international students to work part-time during their studies. This can help cover living expenses.
Internships: Seek internships related to HRM. They not only provide valuable work experience but may also offer financial compensation.
3. Researching HRM Programs:
University Rankings: Research universities known for their strong HRM programs. Consider institutions in countries that align with your career goals.
Accreditations: Ensure that the HRM programs you're considering are accredited by relevant professional bodies in HR.
Faculty and Alumni Network: Investigate the faculty's expertise and the success of the program's alumni. Networking with professionals in the HR field can open doors for future opportunities.
4. Planning Ahead:
Application Deadlines: Be mindful of application deadlines for scholarships and university admissions. Early preparation is key.
Standardized Tests: Check if the universities you're interested in require standardized tests like the GRE or GMAT for admissions.
Remember to craft a compelling personal statement and showcase your passion for HRM in your scholarship and university applications. Best of luck on your journey, and feel free to ask if you have more questions!
Best regards,
Houcin

Hello, Sanilia !
This sounds like a very exciting plan and I would be happy to share some advice for you as you prepare to attend college in the Unites States. There are some financial aid opportunities for you and some can be discovered at the International Student website at the link below. It is a most informative website that has much information that I think will be helpful to you. The cost of studying in the United States is expensive and financial aid is given on a needed basis with some income guidelines that students have to meet to be eligible.
I think that a good idea for you right now would be to visit the administrative office of your current school and ask about any information about studying in the U.S. and seeing what resources your current school can provide for you. Sometimes, not everything shows up on an internet search and I advise that you cover all ground for this.
I found a lot of information for you about scholarships for which I have left links below. I hope that this can get you started. Keep in mind that whichever school you attend in the U.S. may have private scholarships that they offer for students who are already enrolled. You can select which school you will be attending and inquire about it directly to them.
I hope this has helped and I wish you all the best in your wonderful plans !

Hi Sanilia,
It's great that you are so focused and thoughtful about your future! You will definitely benefit from it. To make a right decision, you should consider a few factors. Adapt your decisions to your biggest goals and dreams. Prioritize your actions based on the place you want to reach. Calculate the risks, but don't be afraid of making mistakes or acting in uncertainty.
In fact, Google is a great source for finding fully funded scholarships. The problem is to use the right terms when searching.
All the best.

The information provided by the answer above is perfect. I could provide more but I believe I would just be duplicating what is listed above.
Perhaps would you mind listing out scholarships outside of USA maybe ??

Work with your school counselors to help get the process started. Most study abroad programs are going to want you to have most of your core curriculum behind you.
Once you get to a 4 year institution, work with the financial aid office.
Your financial aid and or a work study program will be based on your level of need because parts of these programs are federally funded. Be patient with the application process & start on it early.
