Before you apply

  • Apply on the provider's own portal. Every link here goes to the official site. No genuine scholarship charges a fee to apply.
  • A closed date is not always a closed scheme. Most of these run annually and announce new dates each cycle — check the official page rather than assuming.
  • Get your documents ready first. Income certificate, caste certificate where applicable, marksheets and bank details are what most Indian scholarships ask for, and they take time to obtain.
  • Apply to several. Awards are limited and criteria overlap, so a shortlist beats a single application.
