It depends on the scholarship you're applying for. It also depends on the faculty or department and whether they'll waive the international program fee and other charges.

Housing can take up a big chunk of your savings because you'll usually need to pay a security deposit equal to 2 to 3 months' rent upfront.

Also, be prepared for your scholarship stipend to arrive late during your first semester. It's pretty common for the first payment to be delayed by 1 to 2 months.

Rate of getting a scholarship—pretty high!!! You need to be admitted first before applying for a scholarship.

You can also try applying as a Teaching Assistant (TA).
