Studying abroad at a world-class university is a dream for every student. But to realize this dream one must have the financial means to bear the cost of education abroad. Unlike India, the cost of education abroad is pretty high and not everyone can afford it. So, students from financially weak backgrounds aim to get a scholarship that will help them in reducing the quantum of loans for studying abroad. Several government-backed scholarships give financial assistance to a certain section of students who are meritorious but don’t have the financial means to study abroad. 

 

The Backward Class Welfare Department, Government of Telangana came up with Mahatma Jyothiba Phule Overseas Vidya Nidhi that will give financial assistance to poor students from backward classes for studying abroad. It will open the doors of opportunity for students from backward class to study abroad, and get secure high paying jobs overseas. The department has given all the details on the financial aid scheme which we will be discussing with you in this article.
