Studying in top international universities is a dream for many Indian students, but financial constraints can sometimes be a hindrance to such dreams. This is why many national and international bodies try to ensure that our talented students are not denied quality education due to lack of funds.
A scholarship is the great way to reduce your overall expenses on international education. Governments and universities around the world value high performing students and have many scholarship programs designed to attract the best and the brightest minds in their country.
There are various kinds of scholarships available for every kind of student, and some strategic planning and in-depth research can help you land the best of them. Scholarships for studying abroad are majorly categorised as:
|
Merit-basis |
Based on a student’s academic record or extracurricular activities such as achievements in sports and service to the community. |
|
Student specific |
Students who qualify based on factors such as gender, race, religion, family and medical history can apply to such scholarships. |
|

Several public authorities, governments or universities grant bursaries and funds to students from a particular country. For instance, scholarships offered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of New Zealand or the Chevening fellowship granted by the UK Government for international students from Commonwealth countries. |

Subject-specific |
Certain universities and institutions award grants to students who plan to pursue a specific field of study. |
