    I would like to know the details and process of receiving a scholarship for pursuing PhD in Psychology. I am interested in doing it in Australia or New Zealand, I haven't applied anywhere yet. I have done my Masters from Cambridge, United Kingdom. Could you please suggest me the possibility of receiving fully funded scholarship for the same, if any. Thanks

      Hello, Agnes nanjala,

      If you are referring to Leakey Foundation Research Grants, Yes, this scholarship is fully funded. But instead of relying on a single scholarship, I would recommend you apply to multiple scholarships to ensure you are on the safer side. So for that kindly let me know what course are you aiming to pursue to give you better options based on your requirements. In the meantime, I would suggest you check out Study Abroad Scholarships For International Students. Tailor your relevant filters, if required, and apply for scholarships within your eligibility. Ensure a close review of the eligibility criteria for an increased likelihood of obtaining the scholarship. Don't hesitate to contact us if you need assistance. All the best!
