IELTS Test Fee Scholarship 2020: Full IELTS Exam Fee Waiver

IELTS Test Fee Scholarship 2020: Full IELTS Exam Fee Waiver

Overview

The IELTS Test Fee Scholarship pays the full cost of one IELTS exam for international students who need an English proficiency score to enter university. IELTS offers the award because some able students cannot afford the test fee and would otherwise drop their plans. The exam is accepted by more than 10,000 education and training providers worldwide, and some universities in non-English speaking countries require an IELTS score for courses taught in English. The IELTS Academic test is the version used for undergraduate and postgraduate admission and for professional registration.
