About this ebook
Attention! Are you from India and interested in studying abroad in the US, Europe, Australia or Canada? Sick of seeing scholarships only for local residents.
Studying in a foreign university in a developed country has long been seen as a gateway to a better standard of living. This is either through the increased knowledge obtained or through the increased job opportunities that result from the knowledge. Universities in Europe, US, Australia and Canada expose all their students to people from different corners of the globe. Students do learn to work with people from different cultural backgrounds as well as learn skills that will make them more employable globally. Of course, it is important that they work hard once they get there and make the right decisions; but they definitely have the opportunity to a better life.
However, people from India looking to study abroad have several obstacles that they need to overcome. The biggest burden is the financial one. People from upper middle class and rich families can afford the fees needed for the high grade of education. However, everyone else must scramble. There is the opportunity for graduate research and graduate teaching assistanships. But those who are not able to get these assistanships must rely on loans taken at very high interest rate in Indian banks. Given the cost of foreign education and salaries in India, it is almost impossible to pay off the loan with an Indian salary. So, there is huge pressure to get a job in the country of schooling. This can be difficult as most jobs cater towards those with local citizenship.
From personal experiences with study abroad scholarships, I realize that most of the scholarships that are shown to students require citizenship or permanent residence of the local country. When I was at Georgia Tech, there were plenty of scholarships available to local residents of Georgia, USA. Most of the local students could cover their entire tuition with the scholarships. The international students were left hanging. To address this issue, our team looked at several programs, both in India and the developed countries. There are scholarships in USA, Australia, USA and Europe that are specific to students from developing countries to help educate their workforce. There are also scholarships by private and public organizations in India that are for Indian citizens. There are several universities that provide scholarships as well. This book is a compilation of several of the most prominent scholarships that could benefit you in your studies, and make a difference in your life.
As a bonus for downloading this book, you will get an extra chapter on how to carry out an effective search for a desired scholarship and tips on how you can write a winning proposal. You will also get tips on how you can avoid being scammed amongst other beneficial insight. I would encourage you to go through the entire book as you may not really know what best suits your academic needs unless you have read all through the book.
What's included in this book:
- List of scholarships for US universities
- List of scholarships for UK and European universities
- List of scholarships for Australian Universities
- List of scholarships for Canadian Universities
- How to effectively submit an application for a scholarship (Bonus)
If this sounds like what you want, then this book is for you.

Introduction
Studying in a foreign university in a developed country has long been seen as a gateway to a better standard of living. Increased knowledge, along with the resulting increase in job opportunities, are both important factors. Universities in Europe, the United States, Australia, and Canada expose their students to people from all different corners of the globe. Students are able to learn to work with people from different cultural backgrounds and pick up skills that will make them more employable globally. Obviously, it is important that they work hard once they get there and make the right decisions; but they definitely have an opportunity for a better life.
However, people from India looking to study abroad have several obstacles that they need to overcome. The biggest burden is the financial one. People from upper middle class and rich families can afford the fees needed for the high grade of education, but everyone else must scramble for their chance. There is the opportunity to apply for graduate research and graduate teaching assistantships, but those who are not able to get these positions must rely on loans taken from Indian banks at very high interest rates. Given the high cost of foreign education and low wages at home, it is almost impossible for graduates to pay off their loans with an Indian salary. So understandably, students are under significant pressure to get jobs in their countries of schooling. This can be particularly difficult as most jobs cater to those with local citizenship.
If students are debt free at the end of their university program, it gives them a lot of options in their careers. They are able to take risks in their professional careers, start businesses, travel, and spend money to improve their local economy. It makes a tremendous difference for them to have the opportunity of spending the best years of their lives following their dreams, rather than just contributing to the economy by slowly paying off their debts.
From my personal experiences with study abroad scholarships, I learned that most of the scholarships that are available to students require citizenship or permanent residence in the country in question. At Georgia Tech, there were plenty of scholarships available to local residents of Georgia, USA; and most of the local students could cover their entire tuitions with scholarships. The international students were left hanging. In addressing this issue, our team looked at several programs, both in India and the developed countries. There are scholarships in the USA, Australia, and Europe that are specifically for students from developing countries to help educate their countries’ workforces. There are also scholarships awarded by private and public organizations in India that are exclusively for Indian citizens. Several universities provide their own scholarships as well. This book is a directory featuring several of the most prominent scholarships that might be available to benefit you in your studies, making an immense difference in your life.
Many students have demonstrated great potential in their study life but lack the resources to fund their education. Scholarships provide these students with the opportunity to pursue their studies. They can then go on to develop careers in fields that they are passionate about, enhancing the level of expertise within their nation.
The objective of this book is to simplify the process for Indian students looking for scholarship opportunities to further their education. You will learn detailed information about scholarship opportunities that are suitable for the academic needs of Indian students, thereby providing you with higher chances of qualification. There are numerous lists of institutions, organizations, foundation and other bodies offering scholarship opportunities that are ideal for Indian students. Whether you are seeking undergraduate, graduate, post graduate, doctoral or PhD scholarships, you will get access to a variety of opportunities that better addresses your particular situation and academic interests.
Each entry contains all the relevant information that the applicant may need. This includes the name of the scholarship, amount, eligibility, deadline for submitting applications, and website address where you can find additional information. Countless people have lost money to scammers who take advantage of students’ lack of knowledge regarding what is required for their application to be considered. The information shared in this book will give you more insight into the requirements for the featured awards, which can be incredibly useful when completing your application or even researching other options that are not covered here.
It is very important to note that the requirements are different for each institution, so not all of the information will apply in each circumstance; but by understanding what the individual requirements are for different institutions, you will be able to prepare yourself appropriately. This will help ensure that you have the appropriate qualifications to guarantee your consideration for the award in question, eliminating the time you may otherwise spend applying for scholarships for which you would not qualify.
As a bonus for downloading this book, you will receive an extra chapter describing how to carry out an effective search for a desired scholarship, along with tips on writing a winning proposal. You will also learn how to avoid being scammed, along with other beneficial insights into the process. I highly recommend that you read the entire book rather than skipping sections, as you may not otherwise know what best suits your academic needs. I wish you success in your academic journey!
Note: All application deadlines in this book are for 2016-17 season; and the dates may change for the years following 2016-2017.
