I learned about Regional Scholar during my search for competitive graduate scholarships abroad. Their platform provided reliable updates, clear information, and opportunities I wouldn’t have found on my own. Through one of their scholarship alerts, I applied to the MSc Computer Science program at Northeastern University in the United States—and I was thrilled to be awarded funding to pursue my studies. Regional Scholar played a significant role in helping me stay informed and organized throughout the process. Their platform made the journey far more manageable, and I’m grateful for the opportunity it helped me secure. I highly recommend Regional Scholar to any student aiming for international studies or advanced academic pathways.
