?????????????????????????National Overseas Scholarship

?

The finest merit-based aid for a student might come through scholarships, especially for those who desire to study abroad. The National Overseas Scholarship is a programme available to all Scheduled Tribe students who are already studying or intend to pursue higher education overseas for different Masters, PhD, and Post-Doctoral research programmes.

It is one of the top scholarships for Indian students to study abroad. The applicant must meet the requirements specified in the National Overseas Scholarship Scheme rules published by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs of India.

The Central Sector Scheme of National Overseas Scholarship seeks to improve the economic and social standing of low-income students from Scheduled Castes, Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic Tribes, Landless Agricultural Laborers, and Traditional Artisans by making it easier for them to pursue higher education abroad, such as Master's or PhD programmes.
