About Applications
Does ApplyMate charge any processing fees?
The standard processing fee is €199, payable after your eligibility has been reviewed by ApplyMate and we are confident that we can help you secure a scholarship between 25 and 50%.
The processing fees must be paid before we submit your application to your chosen institution.
What is the professing fees for?
The processing fee covers the administrative work involved in reviewing your documents, preparing documents supporting your scholarship, and submitting your application to our partner institution.
It is not a tuition payment and is only refundable in certain cases.
Do I pay anything else to ApplyMate?
No. ApplyMate only charges the processing fee once per application. Any tuition or other fees are paid directly to the partner institution after you receive your offer of admission.
Is the processing fee refundable?
Fully refundable in any of the following cases:
- If no admission offer is received within 30 business days of payment.
- If the admission offer includes a scholarship of less than 25% of the institution’s published tuition fee.
How do I pay the processing fee?
Once your eligibility and document check is completed we will issue you an invoice. You can pay online via a credit/debit card or by bank transfer.
How many programs can I apply for?
Each application allows for selection of one program only. If you would like to apply for more than one program you will have to submit the application form more than once and a separate processing fee will be payable for each application.
How long does the whole process take?
This depends on your chosen program. Admission offers are usually issued within 5 to 10 days from the date of payment of the processing fee. Some programs can take up to 30 days.
Does ApplyMate guarantee admission or scholarships?
No. ApplyMate facilitates the process and works closely with institutions to maximize your chances of success, but final admission and scholarship decisions rest with the partner institution.
In case you are not accepted by the institution OR if the offer of admission is with less than 25% scholarship, then your ApplyMate processing fee is fully refunded.
How much scholarship can I expect?
You can expect 25% to 50% scholarship. The average scholarship percentage our applicants get is 40%.
Why do I need ApplyMate for getting a scholarship? Why can't I apply directly to the institution?
When applying directly to the institution, there is no guarantee of admission to the program. Even if you are accepted, a scholarship is not guaranteed.
However, when you apply through ApplyMate, both your chances of admission and the likelihood of receiving a scholarship significantly improve. In fact, the scholarship percentage secured through ApplyMate is almost always much higher than what applicants receive when applying independently.
We achieve these higher scholarship rates by professionally crafting your application and leveraging our strong partnerships with educational institutions.
What documents are required to apply?
You will typically need:
- Your most recent academic transcripts or certificates
Passport or ID copy
- Passport size photo
Updated CV or résumé
Personal statement or motivation letter (optional)
- Proof of English language proficiency
Additional documents may be requested depending on the program.
How will I know when my offer is ready?
Generally speaking you will receive the offer of admission in your email directly from the institution. In some cases the admission offer may be routed through ApplyMate.
What if I have questions during my application?
You can contact us through email or through the chat support available on our website.
What happens after I accept an offer?
After you accept an offer, pay your tuition fee as per the conditions of the offer letter and communicate directly with the institution thereafter.
