Every university or institute has a different policy regarding scholarships and financial help.

These are given out to students according on their merit, need, place of origin, programme, gender, etc. The scholarships and financial help can be summed up as follows:

Merit based – for academic / sports / extra curricular / volunteering work

Need based - Financial support for students with financially limited abilities as assessed by the institute or university

Country-based - Based on intra-country agreements, some universities, governments, or public agencies provide financial help or scholarships to students from particular nations.

Program-Specific - Students who have pursued a particular field of study are eligible for scholarships.
