Service two of four
Most students leave Europe-bound funding on the table — not because they didn't qualify, but because nobody mapped what they qualified for. We do that mapping. Then we coach you through every application that's worth filing. Average savings: €8,400 per student.
The numbers
€8,400
Avg savings per student
Across the students we've helped fund. Some get €25k+ in full scholarships. A few get nothing. Eight grand is the middle.

Receive some funding
Roughly two out of three Visagrad-coached students walk into university with at least partial funding from one source.
5–8
Applications per student
We focus on quality over volume. Five to eight tailored, well-written applications beat thirty rushed ones — every time.
Numbers are illustrative — Visagrad real averages may differ. Replace with actuals once you've tracked a full cycle.
What we map
Different scholarships have wildly different eligibility — passport, GPA, subject, financial need, region. We cross-reference your profile against every one and tell you which are worth your time.

Variable
Beyond these twelve, we track another 30+ smaller scholarships — country-specific, region-specific, subject-specific. The list keeps growing.
The process
Six steps. Roughly 8–12 weeks from start to first submission. Some scholarships have annual deadlines we work backwards from.
Many students do this in parallel with counseling — we coordinate timelines.
Honest expectations
If anyone tells you "we'll get you €15,000" before reading your file — they're lying. Scholarship outcomes depend on annual budgets, competition pools, and matters outside any consultant's control.
About 37% of our coached students receive no funding in their first cycle. Some retry next year and win. Some go ahead self-funded. Either is okay — we're upfront about your odds before you pay.
Scholarship boards are very good at spotting AI-written or consultant-written essays. Yours have to come from you. We coach hard — but the voice must be yours, or the application fails.
Scholarship decisions are made by committees, not influenced by consultants. Anyone promising "we know the panel" is selling smoke. Our edge is preparation and mapping — not access.
Scholarship pricing
Flat fee, disclosed on the discovery call. If you bundle scholarships with counseling, the per-service price drops. And if you don't receive any scholarship offer — we have a partial-refund clause that's transparent and printed in your contract.
The economics: average student saves €8,400 in scholarships. Our fee is a fraction of that.
Scholarships FAQ
No. Government and EU scholarships do weight GPA heavily — those are competitive. But need-based aid, university merit awards, foundation scholarships, and regional grants often weight other factors (community work, professional experience, social impact, financial need). We find the ones where your profile actually competes.
Yes — and you should. There's no rule against multiple applications. The art is choosing which ones are realistic and which ones each take 20–40 hours of writing. We help you pick 5–8 that maximize your odds without burning out.
Some scholarships allow stacking (e.g., a university merit award + a private foundation grant). Others are mutually exclusive (most government scholarships). We map this for you in advance. The dream outcome — yes — is winning a full government scholarship plus a smaller stipend. It happens.
In most cases scholarships received outside India / Bangladesh / Pakistan / etc. for tuition + reasonable living costs are not taxed in your home country. But this varies — we're not tax advisors and recommend a CA consult once you have an award letter in hand.
Many scholarships have deadlines after admissions. If you have an offer letter or are mid-application, we can still help with the scholarship phase — government scholarships especially have January–April deadlines for the following September intake.
Yes — we often include parents in financial profile conversations because they're co-signing the visa proof and may be providing partial funding. For need-based scholarships we may need their income documents. All confidential.
