Most importantly, Start Early!
You will be far behind the ball and might have a tough time if you wait till the last minute to go looking for scholarships. This has to start the moment you shortlist the program or University of your choice. The Universities might ask you to provide the financial documents for scholarship application or financial aid (some Universities may ask you for financial statement even before issuing an offer letter). We suggest, you must have all these aspects of application covered, and start as early as you possibly can.
