Being careful over your choice of consultants and the services they provide is necessary. Being resourceful enough to research your study level and courses to be undertaken according to your profile is highly recommended. If possible, try to apply directly instead of applying with some consultancy services. it’s much easier these days. Also about scholarships don’t take any guarantee or faith over unreliable sources, unless and until you get it approved or directly from any university or institute in written.
Some consultants try to brainwash you into believing that they have a strong tie-up with top universities and they will make sure you get scholarship or admissions easily if applied through them. A student profile is accessed by the university on the basis of your score and certificates you have in your achievements with any extracurricular activities to add on. Again Scholarships are given to eligible candidates depending on your performance or eligibility criteria of a particular scholarship. In Italy, the scholarships are very limited. For the first-year scholarship depends upon the marks scored in your previous qualification & family income. For second-year scholarship depends upon your first year credits.
