Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about how NextApply works, how listings are checked, and what to expect when you apply. Can't find what you're looking for? Send us a message — we read every one.
What is NextApply?+
NextApply is a free platform that brings together fully funded scholarships, fellowships, internships, and exchange programmes from universities and foundations worldwide. Listings are checked against their official source before publishing, and we re-check listings when corrections are reported.
Is NextApply really free?+
Yes — completely. There are no fees, subscriptions, or premium tiers, and applying is always free because applications happen on the official portal of the host organisation. The platform is funded through sponsor placements from educational partners.
Do you charge anything, or ask for my payment details?+
Never. NextApply will never ask you for a fee, bank details, or payment of any kind — if you ever receive a message claiming to be from us and asking for money, it is not us. Applications only ever take place on the host organisation's official website.
How do I apply for an opportunity?+
Open any listing and use the Apply button — it links directly to the official application page of the university or organisation running the programme. NextApply does not process applications, hold your documents, or sit in the middle of the process; we connect you with the opportunity.
Are the listings verified?+
Listings are checked against the official source before publishing. That said, deadlines and eligibility criteria are set by third-party institutions and can change without notice — so always confirm the details on the official website before you apply.
How often is the site updated?+
Listings are refreshed automatically several times a day. Opportunities whose deadlines have passed are marked as expired, and corrections reported by visitors are re-verified and applied as quickly as possible.
I found an inaccurate listing. How do I report it?+
Every published opportunity has a “Report an issue” link that opens our contact form with the listing pre-filled. Tell us what changed — a deadline, funding amount, eligibility, or a broken link — and we'll re-check the official source and correct or remove the listing.
Can I filter opportunities by country, degree, or funding type?+
Yes. Use the filters on the homepage or the browse page to narrow results by category, degree level, region, country, funding type, discipline, and deadline.
Are there opportunities for international students?+
Many of them. Use the “Worldwide” eligibility filter to see opportunities open to students from any country, or narrow down to a specific region or country if you prefer.
Can I track the opportunities I want to apply to?+
Yes. Save any listing with the bookmark button to revisit it later, and use the Application Tracker to keep track of what you've applied to and what's still on your list. Everything stays on your device.
Can universities or organisations list their programmes on NextApply?+
Listings on NextApply come from monitoring official sources. If your organisation runs a fully funded programme and it isn't listed yet, get in touch through our contact form and we'll verify and add it.
How do I contact the NextApply team?+
Use the contact form — pick a topic, describe what you need, and a real person will get back to you, usually within 2–3 working days. We don't publish a public email address to keep spam out, but every message sent through the form reaches the team directly.
Still have a question?
Head over to our contact page, choose the topic that fits best, and tell us what you need. We usually reply within 2–3 working days.
