Are there any charges for consultation services with your agency, or is it free?

Most study-abroad consultancies, including LeapScholar, separate the free advisory conversation from the paid execution work, and understanding exactly where that line sits helps you plan whether you need full application support or just direction.

What Is Included in the Free Consultation

The free initial session typically covers a profile evaluation based on your academic record and goals, guidance on suitable destination countries and courses, and an initial shortlist of universities matched to your profile and budget. This stage is meant to help you decide on a direction before committing to any paid service.

What Moves Into Paid Packages

• Statement of Purpose, or SOP, support: structured drafting and review of your personal statement for each application.
• Letter of Recommendation, or LOR, guidance: help structuring and reviewing recommender letters.
• Visa assistance: document preparation and guidance through the visa application process for your chosen destination.

Package pricing depends on how much hands-on support you need and which country you are applying to, since visa documentation requirements differ significantly between, for example, the UK, Canada, and Australia.

Why Pricing Detail Should Be Confirmed Directly

Exact package tiers and current pricing change periodically, so the specific rupee figures quoted by any counsellor should be confirmed at the time of enrolment rather than relied on from an older conversation or page.

My Advice

Use the free consultation fully before deciding whether to pay for anything, and ask specifically which services are bundled into a package versus billed separately, since SOP support, LOR guidance, and visa assistance are sometimes sold individually rather than as one fixed bundle.
