Why Apply
Why Scholarships Matter
A scholarship doesn't just reduce your fees — it reduces the loan you need, the interest you pay, and the pressure on your family. Here's what a good scholarship can cover.
Tuition Fees
Full or partial coverage of your annual tuition, the single biggest cost of studying abroad.
Living Expenses
Stipends that help with accommodation, food, and day-to-day costs while you study.
Travel & Visa Costs
Some scholarships include one-time grants for flights, visa fees, and relocation.
Smaller Loan, Lower EMI
Every rupee of scholarship reduces the loan amount you borrow — and what you repay later.
Options
Types of Scholarships We Help You Access
Scholarships come in several forms, and most students qualify for more than one type. Our advisors help you shortlist the ones that genuinely fit your profile.
1
Merit-Based Scholarships
Awarded for strong academic records, standardized test scores, or outstanding achievements in your field of study.
2
Need-Based Scholarships
Designed for students who demonstrate genuine financial need, helping bridge the gap between family income and study costs.
3
University-Specific Scholarships
Offered directly by universities to attract talented international applicants — often adjusted automatically at the time of admission.
4
Government & Country-Specific Scholarships
Funded by foreign governments or bilateral education programs to promote international student exchange.
5
Private & Corporate Sponsorships
Grants from foundations, trusts, and companies, often tied to a specific field such as engineering, medicine, or business.
6
Sports & Talent-Based Scholarships
For students with achievements in sports, arts, or other extracurricular talents recognized by the host institution.
Eligibility
Who Can Apply?
General eligibility varies by scholarship, but most students who meet the following can apply:
- A confirmed offer of admission from a recognized university abroad
- A consistent academic record, typically 60% and above (varies by scholarship)
- Valid English proficiency scores (IELTS / TOEFL / PTE) where required
- A well-written Statement of Purpose and, where needed, letters of recommendation
- Meeting the specific criteria of the scholarship — merit, need, nationality, or field of study

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a scholarship and an education loan at the same time?
Yes. Most students combine both — the scholarship covers part of the cost, and an education loan covers the rest. We help you plan the loan around your confirmed scholarship amount.
Do scholarships need to be repaid?
No. Unlike an education loan, scholarships are financial awards and do not need to be repaid, though some may require you to maintain a minimum academic performance.
When should I start applying for scholarships?
Ideally 8–12 months before your intake, since many scholarships have earlier deadlines than the university admission deadline itself.
Is there a fee for StudyCred's scholarship guidance?
Our scholarship guidance is offered as part of our overall study abroad and loan support — reach out to our team for details specific to your case.
What documents are usually needed to apply?
Academic transcripts, admission offer letter, Statement of Purpose, recommendation letters, and proof of English proficiency scores where applicable.
