What Are Inlaks Shivdasani Scholarships?

Inlaks Shivdasani Scholarships offer financial support to Indian students admitted to the top American, British, and other European institutions for full-time Masters, M.Phil, or Doctoral program study. The scholarship scheme grants up to an amount of USD 100,000, covering tuition fees, living expenses, healthcare, and one-way airfare.
