Are you looking for a bright future abroad? But funds are always your problem, so this blog is for you. The government of India has emphasised a lot on solving the financial problems of interested students.
So the Government of India offers various scholarships to counter the problem of money to the students, especially those looking for master’s programs.
In this blog, we are going to cover a number of scholarships that are provided by the Indian government for students.
Scholarships Offered by the Indian Government:
1. National Overseas Scholarships:
This scholarship is for the students of SC, ST, OBC & other categories. Students can take advantage of this scholarship only if they are aiming for a PhD or a Master’s program.
National Overseas scholarship covers Tuition fees, living costs & travel costs of the students.
2. Dr Ambedkar Scheme of Interest Subsidy:
This is not a direct scholarship; in this scholarship, the government pays the interest on the education loan taken by the students. Only OBC & backward caste students are eligible for this scholarship.
The advantage of this scholarship is that students only have to repay the principal amount.
It reduces the burden on the student because sometimes loans have high interest rates.
3. JN Tata Endowment:
This scholarship is owned by the trust, but this is a government-recognised scholarship.
In this scholarship, students can get a loan at a very low interest rate. The students interested in postgraduate, PhD & research programs can take advantage of this scholarship.
4. Agatha Harrison Memorial Fellowship:
To get this scholarship, the competition is high; this is only for top-notch students. This scholarship is given to students who conduct research at Oxford University.
In this, the funds are fully paid along with stipends.
Key Points To Know Before Application:
- You would need to secure admission to the university to get the benefit of most of the scholarships.
- Most of the Government scholarships are for Postgraduates.
- You would require documents like admission letters, income proofs & academic documents to apply.
Tips to Increase Your Scholarship Chances:

Conclusion:
For most of the Indian students, money is a concern while studying abroad. So the scholarships are a great opportunity for students. Generally, in India, students have to borrow money at a higher interest & it gets so hard for them to repay it.
Getting a scholarship not only reduces students’ tension but also helps students to concentrate on their studies more.
