I'm an Indian high school student planning to study abroad after graduation. Are there scholarships specifically for Indian students pursuing higher education internationally, particularly those that could help ease financial challenges?
Certainly, there are scholarships available specifically for international students from India looking to study abroad. As well, international students often qualify for general scholarships available to all international students.
One prominent scholarship for Indian students is the Tata Scholarship at Cornell University. This scholarship helps ensure that students from India can afford a Cornell education.
In addition, the Fulbright-Nehru Master's Fellowships for Leadership Development is another great scholarship option. This program offers Indian students the opportunity to pursue a master's degree in the United States in fields that are of interest to both India and the United States, such as environmental science, public health, and education.
Another option is the S.N. Bose Scholars Student Exchange Program for Indian students. This scholarship provides opportunities for Indian students to study, research, or intern in the field of science and engineering at a university in the U.S.
It's also worth noting that many universities offer need-based financial aid to international students, so it can also be useful to research the financial aid policies of the specific universities you're interested in attending.
Good luck with your college applications, and remember, there is a wealth of resources and people out there rooting for your success!
