On this page, I have tried to provide the details of various scholarships available in India. These fellowships in India and abroad may be offered at various levels of study like graduate level, postgraduate level, doctorate level or post doctorate level in various streams of study. Most of these doctoral fellowships, postdoctoral fellowships and other scholarships in India are meant for the needy and meritorious students so that financial constrains do not become a reason for discontinuing education.
But some of these scholarships are meant to encourage students to pursue research and some fellowships are meant to promote cultural interaction among students from different countries.
These fellowships in India may be provided by both the government and the private organizations. While most of the scholarships in India are meant for Indian students, some institutes also offer fellowships to foreign scholars.
Scholarships in India
NRI/PIO scholarships common test to be held in October
New Delhi: A common entrance test will be held on October 26 in 40 countries to select overseas Indian students for the government's scholarships for pursuing undergraduate courses in India, the ministry of overseas Indian affairs (MOIA) announced on Tuesday.
The test will be held in 40 countries which have a large concentration of non-resident Indians (NRIs) or persons of Indian origin (PIOs), the MOIA said in a press release.
This is the first time the date of the test has been changed. So far, the test was usually held in April-May. But, as the academic year here starts in July-August, the ministry decided to give students enough time to make a decision regarding their educational career.
India offers 100 scholarships for undergraduate courses in sciences, humanities, engineering and commerce streams. The amount of scholarship is 75 percent of the institutional economic cost or $3,600, whichever is less.
Only candidates whose family income is not more than $2,250 per month are eligible for it.
The scholarship scheme was started in 2006 and targeted NRI/PIO children from developing countries with inadequate educational facilities, lesser opportunities for higher studies and countries where there is a significant concentration of the diaspora population. So far, 220 children have availed these scholarships

ITT Technical Institute Online
Earning a degree at ITT Technical Institute Online is similar to earning a degree in a traditional classroom setting. Students are expected to attend online discussion groups that will be monitored by the instructor. Assignments, readings, and other materials have specific due dates that will be given throughout the class. In many ways, ITT Tech online is not like traditional online learning colleges. There are more deadlines and group discussions than in other degree programs.
Students will have to work with other members in their class to complete online assignments. There are also message boards and private boards where students can talk with instructors. All instructors are trained to teach online classes and can offer real work insight where available. An online library is available for students to use at any time. The convenience of learning at one's own pace is still present. Students will have a week or more to complete assignments and they can participate in a group discussion at any time. Posting responses that other students will be able to read later on is considered participating. Class participation will help students develop a firm grasp on what is being taught. Being able to talk about it with other students will reinforce the lessons.
All book and other materials will be sent to the student's home once they have enrolled in a degree program. Other materials can be found on the class message board. Students will email assignments after they complete them. Online learning programs that are more structured help students who need more guidance than other students. Even though the program is based on individual study, students will still have to turn in weekly assignments when they are due. This will help students develop time management skills, and learn how to complete projects on time. These skills will be very valuable once a student enters the workforce.
