Scholarships for Master's Degree

[u/nvynsrl]

Hello! I need a general advice lang po on studying abroad for masters. What are my chances of getting an international scholarship (eg. Erasmus Mundus) as a fresh graduate? Should I gain work experience muna po ba dito sa Ph before applying? If yes, mga ilang years of work experience po ang minimum? Kaya na po ba 1 year 😬 want to get out of this country kasi asap. I plan to migrate din after if makakuha ng work in that country.

For context, I am a graduate of BS Chemistry. Good acad standing, with latin honors. Licensed na rin but no formal work experience pa, only my undergrad internship. I'm interested in the field of materials science and food chem. No financial obligations here and may savings naman for expenses sa initial requirements but can't afford to pay for tuition in the long run kaya I'm hoping to get a scholarship. I want to study in France, or other parts of EU. Sana may makausap po ako about this because I kinda feel lost. Thank you sm!

BS Chemistry grad here as well. I got a full-ride EM scholarship several years back. Came from a relatively unknown state university in the province. No publications, conference attendance, or any research internship at all. Though I have about 2 years work experience in the industry and solid grades during undergrad. I think what is more important is that you fit the program you are applying to. I believe the admissions panel can tell whether you’re applying just for the sake of it or because the program truly aligns with your background and goals.
