The Scholarships feature under Universities enables students to discover, explore, and save scholarships offered by partner universities and leading global institutions directly within the platform. It centralizes key scholarship information to support informed financial planning and strategic university shortlisting.
NOTE: Cialfo supports scholarship discovery, exploration, and saving only. Scholarship applications are not submitted through the Cialfo platform. Students are redirected to official university websites for application-related actions.
Students can browse available scholarships, apply filters, and bookmark scholarships they are interested in.
Where to Find Scholarships
From the left-hand navigation menu, click Universities.
At the top of the Universities page, select the Scholarships tab.
A list of available scholarships from partner universities and leading global institutions will be displayed as cards.
Each scholarship card provides a quick snapshot, including the university name, scholarship value, deadline, and type.
