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.

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

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.

Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation

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 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.

Best Engineering Programs For a Great Future (2020)

Studying in the US is expensive! No wonder, every student who wants to study in the US wants scholarships. Here are 12 smart tips that will help you win scholarships for your MS program in the US.

Many international students miss out scholarship opportunities as they fail to apply for a scholarship before its deadline.

These students spend a lot of time preparing for their GRE exam, carefully short-listing universities and writing powerful essays. But they fail to plan well so as to apply early, which results in missed scholarships. This is simply because there are no more scholarships left!

One of the biggest mistakes of international students is assuming that university admission deadlines and scholarship deadlines are the same. Very often they apply for their scholarship along with the rest of the admission application.

However, in many cases the two deadlines are different. Depending on the school, the deadlines may vary. In some cases, scholarship deadlines may be two months earlier than admissions deadline.

You have to clearly look for scholarships / financial aid vs admission deadlines. To be eligible, plan well ahead of time and avoid missing deadlines.

#1 Applying for Scholarships

There are a plethora of scholarships available for international students, each with its own eligibility criteria and requirements.

Unless you meet the requirements, you can’t apply for scholarships. Use Google to check up on financial aid / scholarships at your target universities and find out whether you meet the eligibility criteria.

#2 Scholarship Eligibility or Requirements

Your 10th, 11th or 12th marks will not heavily influence scholarship decisions. When the university assesses your academic abilities, what you did 4-6 years ago, will not matter as much as your more recent achievements.

Most of the US universities only consider your undergraduate – B.Tech or BE degree – marks. Some Universities do ask for the 11th and 12th grade scores, but very few consider these scores while making a decision.

#3 10th, 11th or 12th Marks

Academics are very important for making scholarship decisions.

If you have performed poorly in your GRE or GMAT and you have a high GPA, you still have a decent chance of earning a scholarship.

Most universities place a lot of emphasis on undergraduate GPA. They look at both – your GPA across every semester / year and total aggregate GPA (or percentage) across all four years. Moreover, the application is always judged holistically to decide on whether the scholarship is awarded.

#4 Undergraduate GPA or Percentages

Having a good test score – GRE, GMAT, IELTS, TOEFL – will always increase your chances of getting a scholarship.

If you are one of those students who doesn’t perform well in standardized tests, but earned a great GPA in your undergraduate degree, you still have a decent shot at scholarships. Your score has to be decent, but NOT bad.

#5 GRE or GMAT or IELTS or TOEFL Scores

Leadership skills and Volunteering are weighed significantly by universities when considering students for scholarships.

Demonstrate your ability to lead by stepping forward whenever you can.

Learn how to manage people, budgets, and / or projects. A typical leadership skill would be serving as a president or on the executive board for an academic or social organization in your undergraduate programs.

Volunteer to help others. Start a group to help others. You could conduct seminars and raise the awareness of school kids on issues like drug abuse, sexual abuse, adolescent health, online privacy and safety, etc.

These are very important because scholarships endowments are typically created to encourage students who have good ideals for society and take up leadership roles and help others and the community succeed.

So, being part of a social or academic organization in your undergraduate program or volunteering is key and you must include all of these certificates, if you have any, or at least quote your experiences in scholarships essays.

This is what distinguishes you from others who just have high GRE/GMAT scores and high academic percentages.

#6 Leadership and Volunteering

Any achievements, publications or recognition are very important for scholarships.

Any achievements matter. This includes being at the top of your class, oratory competitions, paper publications, winning any type of sports competition, being recognized as the top employee of the month, etc. Use these achievements to strengthen your scholarship application.

Make sure you provide documentation as evidence of your achievements with your scholarship application.

#7 Achievements, Publications and Recognition

It’s not easy to separate your scholarship application from the crowd. After all, even if you fit the criteria to a “T,” you’re still likely to be one of a number of applicants with similar grades, goals, activities and aspirations.

That’s where a great application essay comes in. The essay is your best chance to make the case for why you should receive the scholarship; it helps the scholarship provider learn about the person behind the application, and gives them a much more detailed look at your school and home life.

Most of the scholarships ask you to write an essay on why they should give you a scholarship and to explain your situation or story along with your goals, etc.

You have to be genuine when you explain why you deserve a scholarship.

The essay should showcase your passion, your skills and your plan to accomplish your goal. It should explain how the scholarship can make a difference and make your journey successful.

If they are just asking for a statement of purpose, then you have to focus on what you have to accomplish and how you want to do it.

NEVER copy and paste anything from others’ SOPs. Try to read others and come up with your own ideas and write your story and goals.

The bottom line, your essay or SOP should be good and it should show your zeal to succeed and how you want to reach your goals and what it means to you and perhaps even your family and society.

#8 Scholarship Essay or Statement of Purpose

Some scholarship applications ask for your recommendation letters from professors or anyone who you report to professionally. Find someone who knows you well and can give you a good recommendation.

Your recommendation letter should highlight your academic, leadership and people skills. The person recommending you should mention how he knows you and objectively assess your achievements.

#9 Recommendation Letters

While most students avoid applying for scholarships with more requirements in terms of application work involved, these types of scholarships could be a better bet for this very reason. Your chances can be higher due to less competition. You may have to put in a lot of work in terms of writing essays or assignments, or recording videos, but in the end, a scholarship is worth the work.
