The institutions on our partners list have granted us "priority status" and requested us to represent them in our regions. This implies that these universities are more responsive to our pupils than to other candidates. It also implies that at these institutions, we have a direct channel of contact. If a school you're interested in isn't on our list, it doesn't mean we won't be able to assist you. We can still help you compare course material, complete your application, and provide support until you receive your visa.

Full scholarships are uncommon, competitive, and awarded on the basis of merit. We do not advise you to rely on receiving a complete scholarship that will pay your tuition and living expenses. We have half tuition fee scholarships available on a regular basis, and they are also merit-based. If you receive one of these, you will still be responsible for your living expenses as well as the remaining tuition fees. We can help you with your application if you've found a scholarship you'd want to apply for. Uniserv does not grant scholarships; instead, we help financially supported students in obtaining international admission.
