Some students might wonder how they can study abroad with less money in hand. There are many similar questions that we have received from students like you. So will you be able to study abroad even if you don't have sufficient money? The precise answer is – yes, you'll definitely get to do that!
The cost of studying in Germany is free in Public Universities. However, students would be required to pay an administration fee at the start of every year/ semester.Both scholarships and grants are types of gift aid, which means students do not need to pay the money back. But grants are usually need-based, and often go to young people who cannot afford the costs of their studies. In contrast, most scholarships are awarded based on academic, athletic, or artistic abilities.Register
