Regardless of what our line of interest or academic paths may be, we can attest to one truth - education is expensive. I’m sure a lot of us would also like to travel overseas for further studies, to be trained in particular skill sets that the country may not offer, but the fear of student loans and debts keep us from taking the plunge and applying. We at Homegrown have put together a list of a mixed bag of scholarships - some offered by the Indian government in affiliation with other countries and others by private institutions.
I. Commonwealth Scholarships for United Kingdom and New Zealand
This scholarship is aimed towards students from Commonwealth countries, who would after their higher education would work towards the development of their home countries.
