this is one of the questions I got in my previous video and I just wanted to address it here now can you get funding as an international student for your master's degree the short answer to this is yes but it really really depends now I found three of the best ways to get full funding as an international student for your master's degree and I'm just gonna go through each and every single one of them the first one is actually the Fullbright Foreign Programme and this program actually allows international students to come study in America on a full tuition scholarship now it's actually operated by U s embassies and different Fulbright commissions around the world now I'll be honest with you it's very hard to get one of these scholarships just because of the sheer number of people who are applying to them now the second way you can get full funding for your master's degree as an international student is through the Night Hennessy Scholarship if you attend Stanford University for your master's degree you can apply to this scholarship and if you get this scholarship then you will get full funding for your master's degree so it's a really good option that's out there however again this one is quite competitive to get I believe it's something like 1% of the people who apply actually get it so quite quite quite hard so this actually brings me to the third way for you to actually get funding for your master's degree as an international student and that way is actually through a P H d programme now listen to me this is very controversial but it works what basically happens in the United States is a lot of P H d programs give you full funding for that P H d and what I mean by that is they'll pay for your housing for your tuition and they'll even give you a stipend just for being a P H d student so what you do is apply to a P H d program that gives you full funding and basically once you get into that program you get your master's degree that way and once you get your master's degree then you drop out of the program now a lot of people actually drop out of P H d programmes so it's totally typical for this to happen but basically the best way you can get your master's degree for free in America as an international student is by getting into a P H d program first and then getting a master's and then dropping out of your P H d program now it's controversial but that's pretty much the best way to do it so now that you know the secret definitely save this video and share it with your friends so that they also know how they can come study in America for free for their master's degree
