STUDENT FAQ
Questions worth asking early.
We want the important limitations to be visible before you share personal information.
Does OpenSTEM guarantee admission or scholarships?
No. Institutions and funding bodies make their own decisions. We cannot guarantee any acceptance, funding award or faculty response.
Can I apply directly without OpenSTEM?
Yes. You can apply directly to universities or scholarship providers through their official channels. Our involvement is optional.
Do you have university partners already?
OpenSTEM is exploring institutional relationships. We do not list any appointed university partner here because no relationship has been independently established for publication.
Can you give me visa advice?
We can point you to official requirements and checklists. We do not claim to provide regulated immigration advice or visa representation.
How much does guidance cost?
Sending an initial enquiry costs nothing. If a specific paid service is proposed, its scope and price should be agreed with you in advance; no standard price is advertised here.
