This service is provided within the "Complete guidance" package without extra pay.
It includes:
- The Contractor reviews the list and requirements of scholarship programs at the institution of choice;
- They choose a program that suits the client the most and apply;
- They maintain communication with the educational institution in regards to any questions concerning the scholarship program;
- The Contractor supervises the status of the application.
Any additional documents required for the scholarship, except for the application form, are paid for normally. Alternatively, the Customer can prepare these documents on their own.
Service conditions: if a scholarship is granted, the Customer agrees to compensate the Contractor for an amount equal to 15% of the money they will receive through the scholarship or to 15% of the discount they will receive for the first academic year. This compensation has to be provided within the first 30 days of acquiring the student’s visa.

Chances of admission
Can you do it all by yourself? Perhaps, but can you do it as quickly and efficiently as we do?
Let's look at an example — admission to any of the top-50 American universities. The average competition in such educational institutions is 7-15%, so roughly 7-15 people apply for one place, and the competition for a scholarship is many times higher. Remember, the best students from all over the world are competing, including the Americans themselves, for whom English is their first language. And for such exams as SAT or ACT, they prepare throughout their studies in high school.
We know what a successful set of documents looks like, as we have helped hundreds of applicants to enter the best universities in the world, and we will be able to create one for you.
