Scholarships to study abroad – Its not as difficult as it may seem!

What most of the Indian students fear while planning to study abroad is the chock-full of money involved in the process. They hesitate while paying for the fees as either they are not too sure of the course or find foreign universities costlier than the domestic ones. Indeed, the cost of education is quite high in leading countries like UK, USA or Australia, to name a few. But an opportunity missed is worth a lifetime regret!

As a result, universities and colleges around the world have recognized the importance of education to international students and believe in giving opportunities to deserving students to enhance their scope of opportunities. A very less known fact to the students is that these universities offer a variety of financial aids to international students, Indian students in particular. Interestingly, with so much to be offered abroad, in some cases in-home institutions can be a costlier affair than those in Foreign.

International universities offer both world-class education and a reward for taking up this opportunity. There is an array of scholarships offered to candidates such as:

Merit specific - World's top universities offer rewards in the form of scholarships and grants to students who portray outstanding performance in academics, athletics or other extra-curricular activities.
Need-specific – such scholarships are financial aids to students who are meritorious but are not fortunate enough to pursue overseas education due to lack of finances.
Student-specific – rather minority-specific scholarships offered to candidates of specific religion, race or physical impairment.
Subject-specific – It is offered to those students who pursue subjects concerned with skill-shortage areas of particular country.
University-specific – In order to sustain tough competition, various universities offer international candidates, scholarships to attract as many students.
