Study Abroad Scholarships — FAQs

Can I get a scholarship with average grades?

Yes. While many top scholarships reward strong academics, plenty of awards weigh leadership, work experience, extracurriculars, financial need or your statement of purpose. A strong overall profile can win a scholarship even with average grades — we help you find and target the right ones.

Are study abroad scholarships taxable in India?

Genuine scholarships granted to meet the cost of education are generally exempt from income tax in India under Section 10(16). Rules can vary by scholarship type and country, so confirm with a tax advisor for your specific award.

Can I combine a scholarship with an education loan?

Absolutely — most students do. A scholarship reduces your tuition, and an education loan (with or without collateral) covers the rest. We help you check your eligibility for both so you know your real out-of-pocket cost.

When should I apply for scholarships?

Start 8–12 months before your intake. Many major scholarships (Chevening, Commonwealth, Fulbright, DAAD) have deadlines months ahead of the course start, often before or alongside your university application.

Do I need a separate application for each scholarship?

Usually yes — most scholarships have their own form, essays and deadlines, though some university scholarships are automatic with your admission. We track deadlines and help you prepare each application.

Does Vibedu charge for scholarship help?

No. Scholarship matching, eligibility checks and application guidance are part of our free counselling — we help you find and win scholarships at no cost.
