Your Bachelor's degree is the foundation. Discover how your academic background, experiences and achievements could shape your pathway toward becoming Funding Ready for a fully funded Master's degree.
YOU HAVE A BACHELOR’S DEGREE. ARE YOU FUNDING-READY FOR A MASTER’S?
Dear Bachelor’s Degree Holder,
You already have something every Master’s applicant needs: a completed undergraduate degree and the experience that came with it.
You may also be working—building your career, gaining professional experience, developing new skills, and wondering whether now is the right time to pursue a Master’s degree abroad.
The question is whether your academic and professional experience has been developed into a profile that can compete for Master’s funding.
After more than a decade of studying graduate funding across the USA, Canada, Australia, Europe and beyond, our discovery is clear:
Graduate Funding Isn't Scarce. Funding-Ready Applicants Are.
Having a Bachelor’s degree does not automatically make you funding-ready for a funded Master’s.
And being a working professional does not mean you have to put your academic ambitions on hold.
What matters is how your academic background, professional experience, skills, achievements, leadership, interests and future academic direction come together to demonstrate your readiness for graduate study.
Ask yourself:
“Why should a university or scholarship provider in the USA, Canada, Australia or Europe fund my Master’s?”
The answer is in becoming funding-ready before you apply—building a funding-ready profile and developing funding-ready application documents that clearly demonstrate why you are prepared for graduate study and why you are a strong candidate for funding.
Your Bachelor’s degree and professional experience may already give you valuable building blocks. The question is whether those building blocks are positioned strategically enough to support your case for Master’s admission and funding.
The first step is to understand where your profile currently stands in relation to funded Master’s opportunities.
What does your academic and professional experience already demonstrate?
Where are the gaps?
What do you need to build?
Before you apply. Before you search randomly for scholarships. Before you write your SOP.
Know Where You Stand.
That's where the Free Graduate Funding Readiness Assessment comes in.
Your assessment will show you where you are now, the gaps in your profile, and what you need to build to become funding-ready.
