SCHOLARSHIP NEED

It is important to keep in mind that Sea|mester aims to give scholarships out to a wide variety of students, and would rather give out multiple scholarships at a lesser amount, rather than large scholarships to only a select few. Sea|mester does not have the ability to offer full, 100% scholarships.

Historically the average scholarship awarded per student is around 15% - 25% of the total tuition cost, with 60% being historically the largest scholarships awarded, and even then only on very rare occasions. It is therefore recommended that you only ask for what you need, not what you want.
