Am I allowed to apply for more than one Student Exchange programs at a time?

Unfortunately, no. You are only allowed to apply for one program at a time. If later on you are not accepted, then you are allowed to find another program that suits you and apply.

Are there any specific formats for the documents (e.g. recommendation, approval, or motivation letter) that I can follow?

There are no specific set of rules or formats regarding documents, such as recommendation letter or motivation letter. We give you the freedom to write whatever you need however you want them to be, and we highly encourage you to write them all by yourself to induce your writing skills! You can look up all sorts of references from the internet, but don’t forget to be yourself and be original!

Are there any Student Exchange programs that offer scholarships?

There sure are! Some scholarships offered by our partners are JASSO, GKS, Erasmus+, and AUN-ACTS. We will also put the information up if there are any scholarships available for a program, so be sure to keep an eye on that!
Please note that the availability of scholarships will be put on the description of any program that offers scholarships. If there is no description regarding the issue, then there are no scholarships available for the program.
