To study abroad a great idea but for the most of students, it remains just an idea because it is extremely expensive: tuition fees, living expenses, accommodation fees and a lot of others problems that money can solve easily remains an insuperable obstacle on the way to a foreign degree.

If you are looking for the way out pay your attention to the 10 scholarships which can help you or at least give you an idea where you can look for a way to your dream.

Below is the list of the remarkable opportunities you can use.

1. Rotary Foundation Global Study Grants (Global)

This grant is all about global mobility. You can be from all over the world and want to study anywhere away from your native country. The scholarship starts from 30 000 USD and covers almost everything you need to live and study abroad: all academic and travel expenses, including language courses, textbooks, accommodation, and board.

2. World Bank Graduate Scholarships (Global)

It was just a small review of the scholarships. Actually, there are hundreds or even thousands of them. Almost all the information can be found on the Internet. As you see money is not a question if you really want to study abroad, the only question is your strong desire to do this.

I will continue to write about grants and scholarships and also about people which life was changed by education.
