100+ scholarships across 10 destinations

Frequently asked questions

Are scholarships for studying abroad really available to Indian students?

Yes. Major fully-funded scholarship programs — Chevening (UK), Fulbright (USA), Commonwealth, DAAD (Germany), Australia Awards, Vanier (Canada) — are explicitly open to Indian nationals and fund 100% of tuition + living costs. On top of these, most universities run their own merit and need-based bursaries that anyone with a valid offer can apply to.

What is the typical scholarship amount?

Government and elite university scholarships (Chevening, Fulbright, Knight-Hennessy, Rhodes) are fully funded — they cover tuition, monthly stipend, travel, and visa fees. University-level merit scholarships are typically partial — between 10% and 50% of tuition. Need-based aid varies by family income; top US universities often meet 100% of demonstrated need for international students.

When should I apply for a scholarship?

Government scholarships open 9-12 months before the start of the academic year (e.g. Chevening opens August for September-next-year intake). University scholarships are usually decided at the same time as your admission decision — apply for admission as early as possible (priority deadlines are typically December or January for August intake) to maximise your chance.

Can I apply to more than one scholarship at the same time?

Yes — and you should. Most scholarships do not require exclusivity, and the realistic acceptance rate for any single fully-funded award is 1-3%. Building a portfolio of 6-10 applications across government, university, and private foundation sources is the standard approach. Use the per-country pages to surface the awards relevant to your destination.
