Editorial Charter

Three-stage verification, every brief

  1. Each program is drafted strictly from primary government and institutional sources.
  2. Every claim is footnoted to a sanctioned URL — DAAD, Fulbright, Erasmus+, MEXT, Chevening, or the relevant ministry.
  3. Stipends are normalised to EUR using published exchange data; deadlines reflect the 2026 cycle.
  4. Pages are reviewed against the source portal before each application cycle.

Three-Pillar Data Validation

How every WikiCounsellor record is engineered

Each program in our database is validated through three independent pillars before it is published. No record ships without all three sign-offs.

Pillar I

Automated Funding Analytics

Stipend matrices, tuition coverage, and currency-normalized award values are recalculated continuously against published award letters and treasury data — no estimates, no static figures.

Pillar II

Verification via Official Portals

Every program is reconciled with its statutory portal — DAAD, Fulbright, Erasmus+, Chevening, Commonwealth, MEXT — and reviewed against the awarding body's published 2026 documentation before each application cycle.

Pillar III

Post-Study Visa Alignment

Each award is mapped to the corresponding student and post-study work visa — §16b/§20 AufenthG, INA §212(e), Subclass 500/485, Directive (EU) 2016/801 — with current consular evidentiary requirements.

Editorial governance, not marketing copy

Read the operating contract under which this platform exists — our Editorial Policy and Terms & Liability Waiver.

  • Primary-source verification

    Every claim is cited to an official government, ministry, or institutional URL. No secondary aggregators are accepted as sources.

  • Named expert sign-off

    Each scholarship brief is reviewed by a second editor against the cited primary source before publication. Bylines under individual names are added as verifiable contributors join the team.

  • Public corrections log

    Errors are corrected in the open, timestamped, and accompanied by the rationale and the source that triggered the correction.

  • Pre-cycle review

    Programs, deadlines and stipend figures are reviewed against the awarding body's published 2026 documentation before each application cycle, not on an automated cadence.
