A good scholarship or fellowship programme can be life-changing for meritorious students, especially those who come from low-income families. These can be availed to fund study abroad programmes or courses in top institutes of India and they often come with brilliant mentors and challenging peers who can help you take a few steps forward on your education journey.
At times, a good fellowship programme can also give students access to top mentors with industry connections. Scholarships can be generic which are open to all, or specific—open to students of certain ages, educational qualifications, economic backgrounds or a certain gender.
