Corrections Policy
Fully Funded Scholarships is committed to publishing accurate, transparent and useful information for students, researchers and professionals seeking scholarships, fellowships, admissions, internships, research funding and international study opportunities.
We recognize that scholarship conditions, university requirements, funding packages, application deadlines, visa rules and official programme information can change. When an error is identified in our reporting, we review it carefully and correct it as promptly and transparently as reasonably possible.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Our editorial team aims to verify important information before publication by consulting official university websites, government portals, scholarship providers, programme announcements and other reliable primary sources.
This includes checking, where available:
- Scholarship eligibility requirements
- Eligible countries and nationalities
- Degree levels and available programmes
- Tuition-fee coverage
- Stipends and other financial benefits
- Required documents
- Application procedures
- Opening and closing dates
- Selection requirements
- Visa or immigration information connected to an opportunity
Despite these checks, information may occasionally become outdated, be interpreted incorrectly or change after publication. We welcome correction requests from readers, universities, scholarship providers and other relevant organizations.
How to Report an Error
Readers may report a possible error through our Contact page. A correction request should preferably include:
- The title or URL of the article
- The information believed to be incorrect
- The correct information
- A link to an official or reliable supporting source
- The name and contact details of the person submitting the correction
- The organization represented, where applicable
Providing an official source helps our editorial team review the request more efficiently.
How We Review Correction Requests?
Every correction request is assessed on its merits. Our editorial team may:
- Review the published article.
- Recheck the original sources used.
- Consult the latest official programme or university information.
- Contact the relevant institution or scholarship provider when necessary.
- Compare the disputed claim with current primary-source documentation.
- Correct, clarify, update or retain the original information based on the available evidence.
Submitting a correction request does not automatically mean that the published information will be changed. A correction will be made when reliable evidence shows that the original content was inaccurate, misleading, incomplete or no longer current.
Minor Corrections
Minor corrections may include:
- Spelling or grammar errors
- Formatting problems
- Broken links
- Incorrect punctuation
- Typographical errors
- Minor wording improvements that do not change the meaning of the article
These changes may be made without adding a formal correction notice because they do not materially alter the information presented.
Substantive Corrections
A visible correction note may be added when an error materially affects an applicant’s understanding or decision-making. Examples include incorrect information about:
- Application deadlines
- Eligibility requirements
- Eligible nationalities
- Degree levels
- Scholarship benefits
- Tuition coverage
- Monthly stipend amounts
- Required documents
- Application procedures
- Language-test requirements
- Visa conditions
- Whether an opportunity is fully funded, partially funded or self-funded
A substantive correction note may appear at the beginning or end of the article and may follow this format:
Correction — [Date]: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that [incorrect information]. The article has been corrected to clarify that [correct information].
Where appropriate, the article’s “Last Updated” date will also be changed.
Updates Are Not Always Corrections
Some articles are updated because new information becomes available rather than because the original reporting was wrong.
Examples include:
- A new application cycle opening
- A deadline being extended
- A university publishing additional eligibility conditions
- A scholarship provider changing the stipend
- New countries becoming eligible
- An application portal going live
- Interview or selection dates being announced
In these cases, the article may be updated with a new “Last Updated” date and an explanatory note. The change may be described as an update rather than a correction.
We do not change publication dates merely to make old content appear new. Publication and modification dates should reflect the actual history of the article.
Deadline Changes and Closed Applications
Scholarship and admission deadlines frequently change. An article may remain accurate at the time of publication even if the opportunity later closes, is extended or reopens for a new cycle.
When practical, we update articles to clarify whether:
- Applications are currently open
- The deadline has passed
- The deadline has been extended
- A new academic cycle has been announced
- The next application period is expected but not yet confirmed
Applicants should always confirm the final deadline and requirements through the official application portal before submitting an application.
Retractions
A complete retraction may be considered when an article contains serious or extensive inaccuracies that cannot be corrected adequately through normal editing.
A retraction may also be appropriate when:
- The reported opportunity is fraudulent
- The article relies on fabricated documentation
- The central claim is unsupported
- The content was published under materially false circumstances
- Continued publication could significantly mislead or harm readers
Where possible, the original page will remain accessible with a clear retraction notice explaining why the content was withdrawn. This preserves transparency and prevents the misleading article from disappearing without explanation.
Article Removal
Fully Funded Scholarships generally prefers correcting, updating or retracting content rather than deleting it.
An article may be removed in exceptional circumstances involving:
- Legal obligations
- Copyright infringement
- Serious privacy concerns
- Personal safety risks
- Fraudulent or malicious material
- Content published without proper authorization
- Other substantial ethical or regulatory concerns
Requests to remove accurate reporting solely because it is unfavorable, outdated or inconvenient will not automatically be accepted.
Corrections Requested by Scholarship Providers or Universities
Universities, government agencies, scholarship providers and partner organizations are encouraged to notify us when programme information has changed or has been reported incorrectly.
However, institutions do not have the right to control our editorial conclusions, remove legitimate criticism or require promotional wording as a condition of correction.
Factual corrections will be assessed independently using verifiable evidence.
Reader Comments and Social Media Corrections
Errors reported through social media, comments, direct messages or community groups may be reviewed, but readers should submit important correction requests through our official Contact page whenever possible.
This helps us retain the relevant documentation and ensure that the request reaches the appropriate editorial reviewer.
Editorial Independence
Corrections are made on the basis of accuracy and evidence, not because of pressure from advertisers, universities, scholarship providers, sponsors or other interested parties.
Advertising relationships, sponsored content arrangements and commercial partnerships do not prevent us from correcting inaccurate information.
Sponsored or paid material, where accepted, should be clearly identified and remains subject to factual correction.
No Guarantee of Admission or Funding
Fully Funded Scholarships is an independent higher-education news and information publication. We do not award scholarships, make admission decisions, issue visas or control application portals.
Correcting an article does not affect decisions made by universities, scholarship committees, governments, embassies or funding organizations.
Applicants remain responsible for confirming official requirements and submitting complete applications through the authorized platform.
Transparency Record
Where a correction materially changes an article, we may disclose:
- What was incorrect
- What has been corrected
- When the correction was made
- Why the correction was necessary
- Whether the change resulted from new official information
We aim to make corrections clear enough that readers can understand how the article changed without unnecessarily repeating or amplifying the original error.
