💡 Tips for Finding Scholarships and Positions

• Use keywords related to your research interests rather than searching only for “scholarship”.

• For PhD opportunities, also search for terms such as doctoral researcher, doctoral candidate, research assistant and PhD student.

• For Postdoc opportunities, search for Postdoc, postdoctoral researcher, research fellow and research associate.

• Apply filters for subject, country, degree level and deadline whenever available.

• Check eligibility requirements before preparing your application.

• Always apply through the official university, institution or scholarship website.

• Prepare your CV, motivation letter, research proposal and other documents early.

• Do not rely on only one website. Search several platforms regularly.
