In most cases, you do not need to apply separately for scholarships initially. Your overall university application is evaluated for both admission and scholarship consideration. Universities typically assess your academics, SOP, resume, work experience, IELTS/TOEFL or GMAT/GRE scores (if applicable), and overall profile while deciding scholarship eligibility. Some universities do have a separate scholarship application process, but this often happens after you receive admission or an offer letter. In such cases, you may need to fill out additional scholarship forms and submit essays, for competitive scholarships. It’s always recommended to apply early because many scholarships have limited funding, and earlier applicants may sometimes have an advantage.
