Documents | Scholarships for Bachelor’s

Scholarship applications require applicants to submit certain mandatory documents linked to the application and help the selection committee pick the right candidate. A well-written submitted application might also give you an advantage over other scholarship applicants.

If you are applying for a scholarship for bachelor’s, review the criteria and requirements to know what documents the scholarship requires. Here are some of them-

A copy of your admission letter serves as proof of acceptance into a university.
A copy of your transcript proves that you have completed high school.
To confirm your identification, provide a copy of your passport.

All document copies must be color scans, and the details provided are authentic.

1 Transcript of Records

Your academic success during your studies is detailed on an academic transcript. All of the topics you've taken and your grades are mentioned in the academic transcripts. Since every element will be on the transcript, a solid academic record will set you apart before the scholarship committee.

2 Letters of Recommendation or Reference

The letter of recommendation is also critical in your application evaluation for screening. This document allows the selection committee to provide feedback on your talents, capabilities, attitude, conduct, academic flexibility, and other aspects of your personality.

3 Language proficiency

Language proficiency refers to your ability to communicate in the needed language. If you are not a native English speaker, you must produce a certificate of English language competency from any exam (IELTS, TOFEL, GRE, etc.).

Many scholarships for bachelor’s state that native speakers and those who received their degree or education from institutions where English was the medium of instruction or teaching are excluded. If the language of instruction is in a language other than English, you will be required to learn the nation's language.
