About Cost of Studying Abroad: Financial Reality Mapper
A stipend figure only means something once you know what a month costs in the city where you will live. Pick a scholarship and a city and see the stipend set against rent, food, transport and other costs.
What it looks at
- Scholarship stipend
- City cost of living
- Costs confirmed vs. still missing
- Work rights in the country
How it works
You choose a scholarship and a city, and the tool combines the scholarship's stipend with city cost data. Where a number has not been independently confirmed it is marked as unconfirmed, not estimated.
What you get
A city-by-city view of what the stipend covers. Where a figure has not been independently confirmed, the tool says so instead of filling a number in.
Who it is for
Students comparing scholarships or cities who want to know whether the money actually works.
