Scholarship FAQs
What is the deadline for the Chevening Scholarship?
Chevening opens in early August and closes in the first week of November each year. There are no extensions and late applications are not reviewed.
Which scholarships can Indian students apply for to study abroad?
The most widely awarded options are Chevening and Commonwealth for the UK, Fulbright-Nehru for the USA, DAAD for Germany, Erasmus Mundus across Europe, and university-specific merit and need-based awards everywhere.
Can I get a fully funded scholarship to study abroad?
Yes. Chevening, Fulbright-Nehru, Gates Cambridge, Commonwealth and Erasmus Mundus are fully funded, covering tuition, living costs and airfare. They are highly competitive and need 6-12 months of preparation.
When should I start applying for scholarships?
Begin 12-14 months before your intake. Most major scholarship deadlines fall between August and January for courses starting the following September.
Do scholarships cover living expenses too?
Fully funded government scholarships include a monthly living stipend. University merit awards usually reduce tuition only, so most students combine an award with savings, an education loan or an assistantship.
