Graduate study can be hard to plan when tuition, living costs, and family finances all need to be considered together. The Aga Khan Foundation Scholarship is especially important to review early because students usually need to show strong academic plans, financial need, and a clear reason for pursuing further study.

Below, scholarship winners share how they prepared for competitive foundation funding, explained their goals, and organised the personal and academic parts of their applications. Read their stories to see what they applied for, how they planned their timing, and what helped them succeed.
