Gaining full scholarships transformed my life. Now I empower students worldwide to achieve their dreams through education, mentoring and guidance on securing full funding.
Our Mission
Here at the Scholarships Office, our mission is to empower students worldwide to achieve their academic dreams through education, mentorship and guidance on securing full-ride government scholarships, no matter their financial situation.
For over 20 years, I have proudly helped talented yet disadvantaged youth gain access to life-changing educational opportunities. My own experiences benefiting from scholarships that allowed me to study engineering across Europe and Australia now drive my passion for providing that same opportunity to youth internationally.
I aim to tear down barriers to entry for competitive government scholarships by providing insider application tips and personal mentorship. Through our engaging coaching programs, popular blog content and outreach initiatives, I am dedicated to shaping the next generation of young leaders, thinkers and change-makers across the globe.
Our Origins
I founded the Scholarships Office in 2001 after completing five fully-funded international government scholarships during my academic career.
After earning my BS in Germany and MSc in Brazil on full scholarships, I pursued a PhD in Spain, followed by post-doctoral work in the UK and Australia – all sponsored by prestigious government awards for top talent despite my disadvantaged background.
Given the transformative impact these scholarships had on my life, I felt compelled to pay it forward. While lecturing at universities, I noticed far too many bright students missing out on funding opportunities simply because they lacked guidance on the complex application processes.
To remedy this inequity and open access to education, I began an effort to assist students in applying for scholarships using the insider knowledge I had gained as an evaluator. My informative seminars and one-on-one student coaching delivered game-changing results.
Due to overwhelming demand, I launched the Scholarships Office in 2001 as a platform to share my hard-won scholarship application secrets and advice.

Seeing scholars I have coached go on to change their communities, pioneer research and lead impactful careers worldwide is the ultimate fulfillment. I constantly improve our offerings and expand our reach.

Founder & Chairman – Dr. John Morris
As the Scholarships Office’s founder, I still helm our mission to empower students to achieve their dreams through scholarships, as I did decades ago.
After a childhood spent in poverty, I was able to pursue degrees in Germany, Brazil, Spain, the UK and Australia fully-funded by government scholarships. These opportunities at top universities sparked my intellect and enabled me to pioneer engineering advancements.
Devoting my life to ensuring other deserving students could access the same knowledge, I left academia to launch the Scholarships Office. My personal experiences along with evaluating thousands of applications over 20+ years provide the priceless insights I impart to students daily.
I hold diplomas in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics and Mathematics. I have authored 7 books on scholarship applications and speak at 50+ universities per year to raise opportunity awareness. My contributions have impacted over 150,000 students globally.
