Are you planning to pursue your master’s abroad but worried about your finances? Don’t worry! There are many scholarships that are provided to students to read at top-rated American, UK, and European institutions in full-time Masters, MPhil, or Doctoral programmes.
One such scholarship is provided by Inlaks Foundation. They award up to USD 100,000 (~ Rs 7500000) to cover tuition fees as well as scholars’ living expenses, healthcare, and one-way airfare. The Foundation has joint-scholarship arrangements with Imperial College, London, the Royal College of Art (RCA), London, the University of Cambridge (Cambridge Trust), and Sciences Po, Paris. However, it is essential to have prior admission to the institution and course chosen at the time of the application.
The maximum funding given by the Foundation is USD 100,000. If the total funding required to complete the proposed course of study exceeds this amount, at the time of application candidates must show evidence that they can cover the additional costs on their own.
