19 Scholarships for US MS Programs

Studying in the US is expensive!

First, you will need to pay the full tuition fee, which is 30%-50% more than the in-state tuition fee. Second, you will have to cover your living expenses, which could range between $1,000 and $2,000 or more per month, depending on your lifestyle. The USA education system is one of the best in the world

There are various ways to manage your funding such as through an education loan, TA/RA-ship, part-time opportunities and, of course, scholarships. If you have a great academic background coupled with strong evidence of leadership, social and extracurricular activities, you have a decent chance of getting a scholarship

We have curated a list of some of the top scholarships that are available for Indian students, and listed them below along with details of the eligibility criteria and application process.

Tips from Indian Fullbrighters on the application and selection process

**Start the process early: **“The early bird catches the worm.” This popular saying is relevant for prospective applicants for the Fulbright-Nehru program. I began my preparation for the Fulbright-Nehru Master’s Fellowship in 2013, six months prior to the July deadline. As I began early, I was able to do extensive research on the Fulbright program by reading articles, essays and blogs to understand the essence of this prestigious fellowship.

**Read the application instructions: **I found the actual application process easy as USIEF had prepared detailed instructions on the application process. There are several tips provided in the application form to help prepare a strong application. My advice to all applicants would be to devote time to read and understand the application instructions.

Write clearly and use simple language: As there are several sections in the application, the strategy I adopted was to spend two to three days on each section. After completing all the sections, I revised the application in its entirety a few times to ensure consistency. I advise all applicants to use simple and grammatically correct language and avoid using bombastic style.

Highlight the novelty in your research proposal: You should spend time to find out if similar research is being done in your field. It is important to ensure that your research adds a new dimension and contributes to the existing literature.

Establish the raison d’être to conduct your study in the U.S.: It is important to have a clear sense of “why” the research needs to be done in the U.S. Some criteria to consider would be — availability of primary sources, and interaction with well-known experts in your discipline among others. Highlight the extracurricular activities in your application. It is important to include information about your personal trajectories and how these steered you to apply for a Fulbright-Nehru fellowship.

Choosing referees: You should always reach out to those well versed with your work against someone who is a well-known name. Remember to get referees who can comment on different aspects of your credentials.

Prepare for the interview: Highlight the importance of your research and identify the significance it may bear upon your study discipline and on the contemporary realities of India and the U.S.

Host University: Identify institutions which could actually complement and benefit your own research.

The JN Tata Endowment for the Higher Education of Indians has been helping Indian students since 1892 with loan scholarships for higher studies. People consider it a matter of great pride to be called a ‘JN Tata Scholar’. There are now more than 5,004 JN Tata Scholars all over the world.

The J. N. Tata Endowment awards a one-time loan scholarship to study in USA only at the beginning of the course to Indian nationals for full-time Postgraduate/Ph.D./Postdoctoral studies, in all fields, irrespective of caste, creed, gender or community. The amount to be awarded to each scholar by way of the loan scholarship is determined on the basis of the norms laid down for the purpose, and ranges between Rs.1,00,000/- and Rs.10,00,000/-. All selected applicants do not necessarily qualify for the maximum amount.

The selected scholars may also be recommended for a gift scholarship and travel assistance from allied Trusts as may be decided at the sole discretion of the Trustees of the concerned Trusts. A gift scholarship can be for a maximum amount of Rs.7,50,000/- and the travel grant can be a maximum of Rs.50,000/-.

Eligibility Criteria

Applicants should be Indian nationals who are graduates of a recognized Indian University, with a consistently good academic record and other achievements to their credit.

Students in the final year of the degree course and those awaiting results are eligible to apply. Candidates may apply even if they have not received admission from any university at the time of filling out the scholarship application form.

Candidates may, therefore, update their application status with the Endowment once they secure admission. Mid-career professionals up to the age of 45, with good academic records and experience in their fields, specializations or training may also apply.

Scholars going abroad for seminars, conferences and undergraduate studies are not eligible for a J. N. Tata Endowment Loan Scholarship.

Selection for the Awards

It is a matter of pride to be called a JN Tata Scholar. Staying true to the founder, Jamsetjee Nusserwanjee’s vision of rewarding the brightest and the best, a rigorous selection process is followed. Candidates may note the following points.

• Apart from consistent academic performance, importance is given to participation in both co-curricular and extra-curricular activities
• A good GRE/GMAT/TOEFL/IELTS score is extremely important for those applying overseas. If you have received a low GRE score, it may be advisable to improve upon it, to increase your chances of receiving the loan scholarship
• The statement of purpose carries considerable weight in the selection process. We have provided some guidance on our web site on how you can construct a good statement of purpose. Please ensure that your statement of purpose is written by you and free from plagiarism
• After the initial screening of applications, candidates who are found suitable will have to undergo an online test, the date and time of which will be informed to them. Candidates shortlisted based on the online test will be called for the interview. Such candidates should mail scanned copies of the required documents before the time of the interview

The Interview

Candidates should note that to be shortlisted for an interview is no guarantee of receiving the loan scholarship. The interview carries significant weightage in the selection process and is conducted in Mumbai by a Technical Committee.

Candidates should come prepared with knowledge of their subjects and suggested areas of interest, as they will be examined in detail.

The greatest weight will be given to depth of understanding of the chosen area of study and career path. There will be two interviewers, one of whom is a subject-expert and the other is the Director of the Endowment.

The final selection of scholars for the award of the loan scholarship is based on the following criteria

• Performance at the interview
• Score in the online test
• Score based on academic results, GRE/GMAT/IELTS/TOEFL scores, extra-curricular activities, research work, statement of purpose, and work experience.

Formalities to be completed

The candidate and the guarantor (preferably a parent or a relative having the capacity to repay the loan) will have to visit the Administrative Office of the Endowment, by prior appointment, to complete the necessary formalities, after obtaining the visa, in case of students going overseas. They will be required to enter into a legal agreement with the Trustee and provide documentary evidence of the capacity of the guarantor to repay the loan.

Repayment of the loan begins from the time the scholar starts earning or by the end of the third year from the availment of the loan, whichever is earlier. The amount of repayment is 20% of the loan scholarship from the end of the third year to the end of the seventh year.

All applications have to be submitted online.
