Pillar I
Amounts as published
Funding is shown in the original currency and wording of the awarding body. We do not convert, estimate or add up figures; if an amount is not published, the page says so.

Editorial Charter
How each programme page is built
- Facts come from the awarding body's own pages, not from aggregators.
- Each source is marked as retrieved, search summary only, or not retrieved.
- Amounts stay in the original currency; nothing is converted or invented.
- Each page shows the date it was last compared with the official pages.

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 II
Official sources, with status
Each programme links to its official pages and marks every source as retrieved, search summary only, or not retrieved. Details we could not confirm are listed separately.
Pillar III
Visa background, not advice
Our insight articles give general background on student and post-study visa routes. They are not legal advice; rely on the destination government's official pages for your case.
Editorial governance, not marketing copy
Read the operating contract under which this platform exists — our Editorial Policy and Terms & Liability Waiver.
- Official sources
Scholarship facts link to the awarding body's own pages. Aggregators are not used as sources.
- Honest about AI
Research and drafting are AI-assisted and the site is edited by its founder. We do not claim a review team. Sources and dates are shown so you can check.
- Corrections
Send us the page and the official source that contradicts it, and we will update the page and its comparison date.
- Dates, not promises
Every programme shows when it was last compared with its official pages. Deadline-based statuses expire automatically once the date passes.
