To apply for studying abroad, you generally need to meet these main criteria:

- Academic qualifications: For undergraduate programs, completion of Class 12; for postgraduate, a relevant bachelor’s degree.
- English proficiency: IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE scores, with minimum requirements set by each institution.
- Standardized tests: Some programs may require GRE, GMAT, SAT, or ACT scores.
- Application documents: Academic transcripts, Statement of Purpose (SOP), Letters of Recommendation (LORs), resume/CV, and portfolios for creative courses.
- Financial proof: Evidence of funds to cover tuition and living expenses.
- Student visa: A valid visa, often requiring admission proof, financial documents, and sometimes a medical exam.

Requirements vary by country and university, and are subject to change. For detailed guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
