For many students, the biggest question while planning to study abroad is:

“How will I manage the cost?”

The truth is—you don’t always have to bear the full cost. Scholarships and financial aid can reduce the financial burden significantly. At GradGlobe, we help students explore both scholarship opportunities and financial support through education loans, thanks to our strong partnerships with universities and banks.

Here’s your complete guide:

Types of Scholarships Available

University Scholarships

Offered directly by universities for international students.

Can be based on merit, need, sports, or specific subjects.

Some are automatic with admission, others require separate applications.

GradGlobe Advantage: We partner with universities that provide exclusive scholarships to our students

Government Scholarships

Indian Government: National Overseas Scholarship, ICCR Scholarship, In laks Foundation.

Foreign Governments: Fulbright (USA), Chevening (UK), DAAD (Germany), Australia Awards, Erasmus+ (Europe).

Competitive but highly valuable.

Flexible repayment after graduation.
