Scholarships and fellowship programmes are very helpful for students as they can provide the opportunity to study in top-notch higher educational institutions at a lower fee. They may also give children from financially weaker families the chance to study with brilliant faculty and challenging peers.
Scholarships may be generic or specific to certain age groups or educational qualifications. At times, good scholarship and fellowship programmes may also support beneficial interactions and mentorships from industry experts that can help one jumpstart their careers.
