What documents do I need to provide for checking eligibility and applying for scholarships, especially if I only have a provisional degree certificate?

Yes, you can apply for scholarships with a provisional degree certificate, but you’ll need to provide a full set of supporting documents. Typically required documents include:

- Academic transcripts and your provisional degree certificate (with certified translations if not in English)
- Statement of Purpose (SOP) explaining your goals and motivation
- Letters of Recommendation (usually 2-3 from professors or employers)
- CV or Resume with academic and work details
- Proof of English proficiency (such as IELTS, if required)
- Passport copy
- Financial documents (for need-based scholarships)
- Recent passport-sized photographs

Some scholarships may accept a provisional certificate initially but will require your final degree certificate later. Requirements can vary by country and scholarship.

If you need help identifying or organizing the exact documents for your chosen universities and scholarships, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
