In the world of globalisation everybody wants to interact with world. One of the easiest ways to do so is by studying abroad. Countless people desire and aspire to study in UK, but only few get an opportunity to realise this dream, as most people cannot afford to study abroad because of high expenses. To encourage people to take admission, universities in UK offer various lucrative scholarships or bursaries to Indian students who want to fulfil their dream of studying in UK.
Meritorious students with excellent academic record can apply for these scholarships. The scholarships are highly competitive in nature, but once attained, they provide several benefits. From purchasing books to granting financial aid, universities try their best to ease the burden on international students. Recently sixty new scholarships have been introduced for Indian students.
The “scheme aims to include students from every Indian state among the awardees”.
These awards have been introduced as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
Some of the popular scholarships for Indian students managed by British Council are:
1. Commonwealth Scholarships and Fellowships
2. Charles Wallace India Trust Awards
3. The De Souza Trust, Goa Scholarship
4. Scottish International Scholarships
5. The Dr Manmohan Singh Scholarship
Some of the universities also offer scholarships on the basis of TOEFL and IELTS score.
