Let’s get some facts right !
Myth 1: You need a 95%+ score to win scholarships.
Fact: Committees look for potential and purpose, not just marks. Many winners have average grades but exceptional impact stories, leadership, or community work.
Myth 2: Only financially needy students get scholarships.
Fact: There are plenty of merit-based and achievement-based scholarships that don’t consider income at all.
You can get one for academic excellence, creativity, sports, or even social impact.
Myth 3: Only STEM students qualify.
Fact: Humanities, Fine Arts, Psychology, Design all have scholarships.
In fact, global foundations now prioritize diversity of disciplines.
Myth 4: International scholarships are impossible to get.
Fact: Many programs want international diversity and reserve seats for students from India and Asia. It’s about fit and narrative, not luck.
Myth 5: All scholarships cover full tuition.
Fact: Some cover 25–50% of tuition, some just living costs, but it all adds up.
Small awards can collectively fund a semester abroad.
Tip: Apply to multiple smaller ones rather than waiting for one big win.
