Harvard University is well-known for providing financial aid to talented students in the form of scholarships. In fact, it runs its own committee to manage and disburse general scholarships as a type of financial aid to students in need. However, it does not offer any merit-based scholarships and no full-ride scholarships. But the university makes sure to take care of 100% of students’ financial needs. You will be surprised to know that almost half of the batch here avails of need-based scholarships or financial aid every year. 

Here is a comprehensive table mentioning the list of scholarships offered to Harvard University students and the eligibility criteria for each of them:

Now the question arises, how to get these scholarships. Students can opt for scholarships offered both by external as well as in-house sources. The university filters students for scholarships by understanding the background and economic position of the students. Only then does it grant financial aid, to let them complete their UG and PG education easily.

Yes, there is a wide array of fully funded and university scholarships available. If you are planning to pursue an MBA from Canada, here are some of the most popular scholarships that you can apply. 

No, there has been no such announcement. AICTE stipend for M.Tech students is INR 12,400. Students with valid GATE scores can avail of this financial assistance or scholarship.

BITS Pilani provides 2 types of scholarships to its students.

1. Merit Scholarship: This scholarship is granted on the basis of your CGPA in the ongoing semester. On average 10 students from every batch get 100% off and another 10 students get 40% off on tuition fees. Students are required to fulfill the cutoff to become eligible for this scholarship.
2. Merit cum Need scholarship: This considers two factors; your CGPA and your parent's annual income. If your family income is less than 10 LPA you are eligible for this scholarship given that your CGPA is above 7. Here, the scholarship is directly proportional to your CGPA.

It's important to note that if you go for an external scholarship, you won’t be eligible for the above scholarships.

As an international student, you might avail full ride scholarships for various programs and academic levels in Canada. The scholarships to study in Canada are generally offered by the universities, external donors, or home country. The university scholarships are merit based and need based and might need separate application at the time of admission. Meritorious students unable to avail the fully funded scholarships might avail partial scholarships.

Trust me if you get into any IIM, banks will be after you to get loans from them. Banks consider an IIM student a good investment and therefore offer educational loans at a very low interest rate.

My uncle’s son had cleared CAT and got into IIM Calcutta. He got a loan from a bank at an extremely low interest rate. He had to deposit a demand draft of INR 3,23,050 at the time of the MBA registration process (second week of June). The rate of interest is 8.4%. After MBA, you will be in the 30% tax slab. The interest paid on an education loan is tax-deductible. So, your effective rate of interest is 8.4(1–0.3)=5.88%. This is the cheapest loan one can get in India. So it’s recommended that you take a loan even if you have money.

Banks like SBI, CBI, BOI, and PNB will give you loans as high as 30 lakhs without any collateral.

Apart from loans, IIM Calcutta also offers a lot of financial assistance to financially weak students. Need-based-scholarships are offered. IIM Calcutta provides Financial Assistance to students whose family income is less than 8 Lakhs.

Rather than worrying about money focus more on your goals and academics.
