It seems that in the eyes of many people, the word "going abroad" equals "having money". In this regard, I tell you from my own experience: never! I come from an ordinary family, but there is a saying that deeply influenced me, "The country you go to is your world", so I have a heart to see the world.

How to study abroad without spending a penny? I participated in CSC's national exchange scholarship program. Let's sort out the overall application process according to my personal experience:

I. Information collection:

Official website, National Scholarship Fund Committee.

The international office of my school (I learned from this gathering that the information here is more targeted)

2. Funding content: full tuition+living expenses+round-trip international air tickets (if there is no high consumption and the overseas living expenses are completely covered, how many tens of thousands are left for a senior)?

3. Language: This is a mandatory requirement. Generally, the receiving institutions teach in English. The English proficiency of the applicant must meet the requirements of the receiving institution, and the corresponding language proficiency certificate shall be submitted at the time of application.

Ps: I applied for Hungary. Postgraduates must also take Hungarian courses offered by their universities in the first academic year, and pass the corresponding examinations at the end of the second semester (our school is a written test and an oral test, and the investigation content is very simple).

4. Category and duration of study abroad:

Master's degree: length of study abroad 18-30 months (taught in English)

Studying for doctoral students: the duration of studying abroad is 48 months (taught in English)

(When applying online, the specific study period is subject to the academic system of the receiving institution. )

Studying abroad in public sounds difficult. In fact, some projects are quite easy for students who have reached gpa and English level. Foreign friends can also pay more attention to the notice of the embassy and have the opportunity to switch from their own expenses to public expenses. My roommate successfully changed from self-funded to public funds in the second year of research!
