Scholarships are typically granted based on merit and other criteria such as gender, race, nationality, and field of study. The government of India, the host country, universities, and private organizations provide various scholarship and financial aid options to individuals aspiring to pursue higher education abroad. These awards, whether one-time payouts or renewable stipends, may cover full or partial funding.

To qualify for scholarships abroad, prospective students usually need a GPA ranging from 3.4 to 4.0, in addition to achieving an IELTS/TOEFL score between 6.5 and 7 (for IELTS) or approximately 100 in the TOEFL iBT.
