Why Research Experience Matters for Scholarships (Masters & PhD Guide)

In this video, we discuss why research experience is an important factor in securing scholarships, especially for master’s and PhD programs. Many competitive scholarships and research-based programs require more than good grades. Supervisors and selection committees often look for evidence that an applicant already understands the research process, can work independently, and has the ability to contribute meaningfully to academic work. We also explore how prior research experience can strengthen your application when reaching out to supervisors, applying for thesis-based programs, or competing for fully funded opportunities across different countries. This video is part of Scholarship Embassy, where we share practical guidance on scholarships, study abroad pathways, and academic preparation strategies.
