Bachelor??
I just graduated from high school in a third world country and things are not looking bright for me (Inflation, escalation of internal conflicts and poor education/job market). I have been browsing for a fully funded bachelor scholarships abroad for months, but they seem to be almost nonexistent and even if there are some funded opportunities, they often are reserved for graduate students. The thing is that I can afford tuitions which are in an affordable range (mostly Europe), but I don’t have a good bank statement at the moment due to my family’s financial situation, so that makes the chance of me getting rejected for a visa higher. Academically, I have given everything I have. I maintained a 90+ average throughout high school, ranked in the 5% of my class, earned a solid IELTS score, and built a decent list of extracurricular activities. I’m posting this because it has become beyond my ability and the continuous fear and stress about my future made my mental health worse. I would be deeply grateful for any support, whether that means university/vocational program suggestions, scholarship leads, or general advice on approaching this situation. If anyone working in higher education happens to read this (especially European), please know that if given a chance, I will work hard and prove to be a genuine asset to your institution. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post!!!
