Hey , I am not sure if this is the right platform to ask this . But any kind of resolution would be helpful . Query -“are scholarships available for students from India applying to a top b-school ? “
Hi. Top programs offer three types of financial aid / scholarships.. There are Merrit based scholarships. This means you have I strung application in really good test scores.
Second type is diversity scholarships. These are not official but if you are pretty unique applicant and schools want to attract you, for example if you’re an athlete or you are a fighter pilot, they will offer some money to try to attract you because they want you to be a part of the class.
The final type is the need based scholarships. Only Harvard and Stanford offer these. Idea is that if you make less than $50,000 a year and you get into Harvard or Stanford, they will pay for your tuition one-way or another.
This is very general overview. Sometimes financial aid may be called a scholarship, sometimes it may be a fellowship or something else but it’s kind of all the same concept. Some schools are more generous some are less, And they usually do not disclose how much money they’re planning to offering scholarships so you don’t really know how much you will get through your chances so you kinda have to apply but the general rule is for merits scholarship you have to have a really high score. Or you have to get into Harvard or Stanford and you don’t need to worry about money 😂
