Scholarships for $5000-$10000 USD

Previously our scholarship amount has been at least 1000 Euro/year. From the application period opening in February 2022 we have increased the scholarship amount to a total amount between $5000 and $10000 USD depending on how many scholarships we hand out. We offer four different scholarships and we hand out at least one scholarship per category:

  • The Language Course Scholarship $500-$1500 USD: you can get this scholarship for language courses at selected language schools around the world.
  • The Study Abroad Scholarship $500-$1500 USD: you can get this scholarship to study abroad for 1-2 semesters at selected colleges & universities abroad.
  • The Degree Scholarship $1000-$2000 USD: you can get this scholarship to take an Associate, Bachelor, or Master's Degree at selected colleges and universities abroad.
  • The Asia Scholarship $500-$1500 USD: this is a scholarship for programs taken at our partner schools in Japan, Korea and the rest of Asia. It can be a language course, a degree program, or study abroad semesters.

You do not need to choose which scholarship you apply for. Fill out one scholarship application and we will automatically consider you for the scholarship that matches the school and program you have chosen (for example the Asia Scholarship and the Language Cours Scholarship if you apply for a Language course in Korea). The scholarship is available for seleted schools abroad. On the application page, you can see which schools you can apply for.

The scholarships are handed out once per year. The scholarships can be split between several students. Please note that this scholarship will not be enough to support you on long-term studies. You will still need other funding as well.

Who can apply?

Before 2021 it was possible to apply for this scholarship for studies abroad at all colleges, universities, and language schools abroad. However, we started to receive too many applications where many had incorrect or even fraudulent data. So from 2021, we have limited the number of schools that we give the scholarship for to better be able to validate the received applications. Press the application button below to see which schools you can apply for.

You can get the scholarship for full-time studies starting in 2025 (or January 2026) at one of the selected schools on the application page (you cannot get it for programs that started in 2024 or earlier). If you want to start later, you should wait and apply for a scholarship in the coming years instead. Anyone can apply regardless of age, nationality, and background.

You do not need to be accepted by a school abroad when you apply for the scholarship, but if you receive the scholarship, it is on to the condition that you will study at the school and program which you mention in your scholarship application. We will put you in touch with the school you apply the scholarship for so they can give you more information. Please note that you can only get the scholarship if you apply directly to the school chosen above with assistance from DreamStudies. Students applying with the help of third-party agencies or exchange programs organized by their home university will be disqualified from this scholarship.

Application deadline and the scholarship winner

The application deadline is 15 December each year. DreamStudies’ Board of Directors then decides which student will be awarded the scholarship. His or her name is made public at the end of January. For more details see the terms and conditions on the application page.
