Studying abroad allows a student to explore a brand new country. It also exposes the student to new cultures, customs and people from various ethnicities and backgrounds. Despite all its benefits we also need to bear in mind that studying abroad can easily drain your pocket. This prevents many students from exploring study options abroad.

Here are some ways you can make studying abroad easier on your pocket:
1. Scholarships: Many Universities, governments, and research organizations offer scholarships to international students. You should do some in-depth research to gather as much information as possible on the same. There are many philanthropic organizations too that provide scholarships and research grant to students. Getting one can definitely ease the burden on your pocket.

2. Student loans: You may wish to apply for a student loan in case you want to study abroad. Scholarships alone may not be sufficient to cover both the tuition fee as well as living expenses. Many private and public banks offer student loans in India.

3. Part-time jobs: Working part-time during your studies may be a great way to earn some money and also gain valuable experience. However, you need to be sure that your Student Visa permits you to do the same. Different countries have different immigration rules. Hence it is prudent to research the immigration policies of the country that you wish to study in. Online jobs may also be a good option to earn some money while studying, as per the Times of India.

4. Employment inside Universities: Many Universities offer on-campus employment opportunities to its students. Again, you need to make sure that your Student Visa permits you to take up these jobs. Most Universities that have such jobs list them on their websites. International students can find such jobs more easily than looking for other part-time options. The University campus, being a familiar environment, makes working easier.

5. Personal funds: The most common practice is to use one’s own savings to fund the overseas studies. You may use your parent’s funds or your own to pay for your studies abroad. However, this can be quite unnerving. Hence it is highly advisable that you do your due diligence before going ahead. Studying abroad should be considered as an investment for future returns. International education would eventually get you satisfactory employment.

With good and extensive planning, research and a determination to do well, studying abroad can be a great value addition to your career.
