International Scholarship

I was going through an excellent book written by a girl
who studied BA (English) at Stanford – Wanna Study in
the US – Rupa Books – recently launched with a
foreword by billionaire Mukesh Ambani of Reliance
Industries, also an alumni of Stanford (MBA).

She lists Indian sources for international educational
funding --upto Rs.25 lacs, she claims! Perhaps if all listed
sources award full scholarships, only then maybe it will
add to Rs.25 lacs!! Only the Tatas give, for a top US
school, a scholarship award of Rs.1,00,000/- or $2,000/.
So do the Birlas – not more than Rs.1,00,000/ or $2,000/-
. Some give only Rs.2,000/- or $40/-. It is not even
peanuts since I need $1,00,000/- for a 2 year MEd
program or $1,50,000/- plus ---for a 4-7 year DEd or PhD
program!!

The following link shows what scholarship funds are
available for international students who want to go for
masters or doctoral degrees in the USA:
