Do I need to apply separately for scholarships or are they automatically considered in Germany/USA?

It depends on the scholarship and university policy.

- Some scholarships automatically consider you when you apply for admission.
- Others require a separate application, especially major scholarships like DAAD in Germany, which typically have their own deadlines and documentation.
- In the USA, policies vary by university - some merit scholarships are automatic, while others need a separate application.

Check each university's process for the scholarships you're interested in.
