Scholarship Baji

Funded scholarships. Honest advice.

We can't guarantee you a scholarship. Here's what we can do.

One to one help with funded master's and study abroad applications, from two women who won them. Talk to your baji. The first 15 minutes are free, and so is walking away.

Between us: seven fully funded scholarships in Europe, around $200k in offers she turned down in the US, and a funded research year in Türkiye. Since then, 20+ students guided, several now on fully funded scholarships in Europe and the US. Every one of those started as a blank application form, the same one staring back at you.

First 15 minutes free. Then 20 euros an hour.

If we can't help you, we say so in the first five minutes. Then you decide.

A real person reads it and replies, usually within 48 hours.

Who's your baji?

We are two women who did this ourselves and then kept doing it for other people. So far that is 20+ students guided, several now on fully funded scholarships in Europe and the US.

  • Hareem

    Peace and conflict studies · Now on a fully funded double master's in Europe

    She refused to pay for her master's, so she didn't. Around $200k in US scholarship offers, seven fully funded EU scholarships, and the Türkiye Bursları scholarship, which she took for a year of refugee research. Turning offers down is its own skill. She has had the practice.

  • Noor A.

    Economics · Kennedy-Lugar YES alum · 2 years at Accenture Malaysia

    The YES exchange is where the whole thing started. She got into multiple Erasmus Mundus programs, then chose work first and study later. That is the point: know your options so the choice is actually yours.

Why us

Every line below is a fact, not a flex. Do the math yourself.

  • Four countries lived in, not researched

    We studied, researched and worked across Europe, Türkiye and Malaysia, on funding we won ourselves. This is not advice from behind a desk that has never seen a visa stamp.

  • We have won what you are applying for

    Seven fully funded EU scholarships, around $200k in US offers, Türkiye Bursları, Erasmus Mundus admits, a YES exchange. Between us, we have been on the winning side of the exact applications you are about to write.

  • We know what readers reward

    What to push, what to cut, which story works and which one quietly kills an application. That is the craft you only get from writing and winning these yourself.

  • A person, not a pipeline

    No templates. No copy-paste essays. No treating you like file number 47. The first 15 minutes are free, and if we can't help you, we say so.

How it works

  1. Open the door

    One way in, same welcome. Send your details, and the reply sets up your free 15 minutes. It works whether you have a shortlist of programs or nothing but a plan to leave. Yes, even at 1am.

    Send my details A real person reads it and replies, usually within 48 hours.
  2. We talk it through

    Your background, your options, whether we can actually help. If we can't, we tell you on the call.

  3. We work together

    If it is a fit on both sides, we agree the scope first, then charge 20 euros an hour. Your free 15 minutes stay free. The clock only starts when you say go.

What it costs

One number, no packages, no retainer. You see the total before you commit to anything.

20 euros an hour

  • The first 15 minutes are free

    No card, no contract. If we can't help you, we say so on that call and you keep your money.

  • You approve the scope first

    In the free call we agree what the work is and how many hours it takes. The clock never starts before you say go.

  • No cut of your scholarship

    The funding you win is yours. We charge for hours worked, never a percentage of your scholarship.

  • You pay per agreed block

    Payment covers the hours you approved, before the session. Stop after any block, no subscriptions, nothing rolling.

Scholarships are competitive and never guaranteed, not by us and not by anyone. Anyone promising you an outcome is selling you something. What you get from us is the strongest, most honest version of your application.

Straight answers

Do you guarantee a scholarship?

No. And be careful with anyone who does. These decisions sit with a panel you will never meet. What we guarantee is the strongest, most honest version of your application.

How much does it cost?

It is 20 euros an hour, and the first 15 minutes are free. No packages, no retainer, and we never take a cut of your scholarship. A full application and an essay review are not the same job, so we agree the scope and the hours in your free call. You commit to nothing before you know the total.

What do I actually get for an hour?

Depends what you are stuck on. Usually some mix of which scholarships you are genuinely competitive for, your statement of purpose, your CV, who to ask for references and how to brief them, and interview practice. We agree the scope in the free call, so you always know what you are paying for.

Is the free call really free?

Yes. Some people take the call, get their answer and never come back. That is fine with us. No card, no contract, no follow-up spam.

Why should I trust you?

Don't, yet. Take the free 15 minutes and judge us on what you hear. Our record is on this page and we are happy to walk you through any line of it.

Who is this for?

Anyone chasing a funded master's or study abroad place, whether you know exactly what you want or have no clue yet. If you are about to pay full price because nobody told you funding existed, you are exactly who this is for.

Which countries?

The ones we have actually done. Europe, the US, Türkiye and Malaysia.

When should I start?

Earlier than feels necessary. Most funded programs in Europe close between December and March, and a strong application takes weeks of drafts, not one late night. If a deadline is close, say so in the form and we will prioritise you.

What if I don't know what I want yet?

That is the most common place to start, and it is exactly what the free call is for. Bring the confusion with you.

Tell us where you're headed

The more honest you are, the more useful we are. This takes about two minutes.

Free, and no obligation. The call starts with your free 15 minutes, then it is 20 euros an hour if we work together. A real person reads every one of these and replies, usually within 48 hours. Your details stay between us. We never add you to a mailing list.

Fifteen minutes. Free. Then you decide.

Worst case, you leave the call with a clearer plan than you walked in with. Best case, you stop guessing entirely. Deadlines for funded programs close months before term starts, so early is the whole game.

No card. No contract. No follow-up spam.
