List of Scholarships for Indian Students – 2019

Indian scholarships are available only for the students from the minority class, students from reservation quota or the students from economically backward families. No, this is not true! It is a myth believed by most of the citizens in this country but in reality, the objective of providing scholarship is to support the education of an individual regardless of caste, creed or any category. The scholarships available in India are huge in number for students from all the castes, creed, gender and category, but, the knowledge about these scholarships available is still lacking among the people. The schools and colleges do not provide any proper information about the scholarships available to the students and this result in dropping out of students due to financial crisis in the family. A misconception that is still followed by the people is that the process of getting a scholarship is a long and tiresome and the amount allocated for these scholarships are not so worthy. But, with the help of technology, it has become a trouble-free task for the students to know about the scholarship schemes and to apply for the suitable required scholarship scheme.
