• About E-Grantz Scholarship

The E-Grants scholarship was started by the Kerala government in 2021 to help academically brilliant students pursue higher education without any financial burden. All facilities covered under this scheme can be received by students via e-grantz 3.0 which is an online portal for the disbursement of scholarships for students pursuing pre or post-matric education hailing from SC, ST, or OBC communities.

According to data gathered from a source, it has been found that the portal has so far enabled around 3 lakh students to enroll across 3,400+ colleges or universities in Kerala. 

As the education sector registers growth, expenses associated with course admissions, tuition fees, and related costs are rising to make it difficult for students coming from poor economic backgrounds to continue with higher studies.

PhD Scholoarship India 2024 [Scholarships from Government]

Kopal Srivastava Aug 26, 2024 1K Reads

After completing a master’s degree, you can pursue a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). This is a big decision because it requires significant time and resources. One major challenge, especially for self-funded students, is the cost. A PhD can take 3-5 years and can be expensive without a scholarship.

To help, there are some popular PhD scholarships in India that offer substantial financial support. These scholarships can cover your expenses for studying in India or abroad, making it easier to establish your career in research.

What are PhD Scholarships?

A PhD scholarship provides funding to support a student pursuing a PhD or other doctorate.

Eligibility and selection criteria:

• Merit-based scholarships: These are for academically excellent students who have strong qualifications and CVs.
• Need-based scholarships: These support students facing challenges due to their background or personal circumstances, especially if they are from under-represented social or demographic groups at the PhD level.

Scholarships vs PhD Studentships

Some PhD funding awards are called studentships instead of scholarships.

Scholarships vs. Studentships:

• Scholarships: Provide funding for a student to pursue a PhD.
• Studentships: Fund a specific research project throughout the PhD duration.

For example, the UK's Research Councils offer studentships tied to advertised PhD opportunities or awarded based on proposed projects. The funding is directly linked to the project.

While the distinction between scholarships and studentships can be blurry, both aim to fund PhD studies.

University Scholarships

When looking for PhD funding, start with your university. Many research-intensive universities offer various funding options for postgraduate students.

• Alumni discounts: These reduce tuition fees for graduates returning for postgraduate studies.
• General scholarships: They can be merit-based or need-based, supporting eligible PhD students annually.
• Travel and research grants: Available to cover costs like conference attendance or fieldwork, enhancing affordability during your PhD.

International Scholarships

Some PhD scholarships are personalized for international students who may not qualify for local public funding options like student loans or national studentships.

• Government funding schemes: Countries offer specific competitions to attract talented international researchers. Examples include the UK's Commonwealth Scholarships, New Zealand's International Doctoral Research Scholarships, and Denmark's Danish Government Scholarships.
• Exchange schemes: Collaborative programs between countries fund each other's citizens for PhD studies abroad. The US-UK Fulbright Scholarships are a notable example.
• University awards: Many universities provide international scholarships as part of their funding options for PhD studies.
