How do I answer the questions on the myUface application related to my financial contribution to my study?
The myUface application asks students to estimate the amount they will be able to devote to their own education.
A lot of myUface users are intimidated by these questions. Some think that, even if they can pay for their education, they should answer differently in order to increase their chances of getting a scholarship. Other students, who are able to contribute very little, may feel pressured to say they can contribute something, in order to be more attractive to universities.
Let’s clear up the confusion: the best way to answer these questions is to tell the truth regarding your financial situation. Even if you can pay your way, many universities may still be interested in offering you a scholarship. Even if you can’t pay for any of your costs, a university may be able to offer you full tuition. So no matter what you write, don’t feel that your answer is “disqualifying” you from consideration. Just give the best estimate you can as to how much you’d be able to contribute.
It’s much better to give universities an accurate picture of your situation now, at the beginning of the process, than later, when the situation may be much more awkward.
