# How can I get a scholarship to study abroad?



## Answers

### Answer by Amrith Chandran

Several well-known scholarships are open to Indian students:

- **Chevening** (UK), for future leaders doing a one-year master’s.
- **Fulbright-Nehru** (USA), for master’s, doctoral and professional programmes.
- **DAAD** (Germany), for master’s and PhD students.
- **Commonwealth Scholarships** (UK).
- **Erasmus Mundus** (Europe), for joint master’s programmes across countries.
- **University-specific scholarships**, which many universities offer to strong international applicants.
- **Government of India schemes**, such as the National Overseas Scholarship for students from SC and other eligible communities.

Start a year in advance. Strong academics, a clear statement of purpose, good recommendation letters and evidence of leadership or community work make a big difference.
