- Direct mentorship from leading scientists in your field

- A strong base for PhD programmes or international research careers
My Advice
Budget for housing and visa costs from day one, since the stipend has to stretch across your stay. Speak to your mentor early about accommodation options, and keep some savings aside for expenses the scholarship does not touch.
