Scholarships
Plan your budget without counting on a scholarship. Two routes are worth checking: EU-funded Erasmus Mundus joint master's, which students from all over the world can apply for, and any current award or payment plan at your university.
Your counsellor checks Hellenic American University's current scholarships and payment terms with you before you apply.
Remember that the visa needs proof that at least one third of the tuition is already paid, so plan that payment first.
A scholarship does not replace the visa funds. You still show at least €400 for every month of study. Compare all scholarships for Bangladeshi students.
