Hello — I’m Shivansh. If you landed on this page, you’re probably dreaming about studying abroad, hunting for scholarships, or trying to figure out which university and program will actually give you the best return on time, money and effort. I’m a student who’s been through the messy, exciting, and expensive process of applying to universities overseas — and I made this site to document what actually works, not the polished marketing fluff you see everywhere.
What this site is for
AbroadStudy.AnmolBetiyoJana.in is a practical hub for:
- Top study abroad scholarships — clear, step-by-step guides to scholarships that actually matter (Chevening, DAAD, Fulbright, Erasmus+, Commonwealth, university-specific awards).
- University tips — how to choose programs, compare rankings and costs, pick an advisor, and prepare your application to stand out.
- Student stories & advice — real experiences from people who secured scholarships and survived their first year abroad.
Why trust a student’s blog?
Because I’m not selling anything. I tried multiple routes (self-funding, small grants, and scholarship applications) and I learned the difference between “good” and “waste of time” advice. I test resources and link to primary official sources (for example, EducationUSA, British Council, DAAD, Chevening, and Erasmus+) so you can verify everything yourself.
How I research scholarships & universities
I follow a three-step process that you can replicate:
- List programs — Use university pages and portals (QS, THE) but focus on course content and faculty rather than raw ranking numbers.
- Find scholarships — Cross-check government & university pages (e.g., DAAD, Fulbright, Chevening) and local embassies for funding windows.
- Plan application — Start early, collect references, craft a clear study purpose, and tailor your CV and SOP for each scholarship/university.
Example sources I use every time
| Resource | Why I use it |
|---|---|
| EducationUSA | Trusted official advice for U.S. applications and scholarships. |
| British Council | Guides for UK admissions, scholarships, and English testing. |
| DAAD | Excellent for Germany scholarships and tuition information. |
| Chevening | Fully-funded UK scholarships for mid-career students — know the timeline. |
Top study abroad scholarships I focus on
Some scholarships are large (full tuition + stipend), others are partial. I aim for programs that cover both tuition and living costs because they make studying abroad realistic for students from middle-income backgrounds.
- Chevening Scholarships (UK) — one-year master’s, leadership focus.
- DAAD Scholarships (Germany) — for postgraduate research and masters; many programs are taught in English.
- Fulbright Scholarships (USA) — research and study; highly competitive and requires strong academic/professional backing.
- Erasmus+ (EU) — mobility grants and full degree funding across European partners.
- University Specific Awards — e.g., University X scholarships for international students (always check university pages).
How I present content on this site
Every article on this site follows a simple structure:
- Quick summary for scanners
- Official source links (so you can verify)
- My step-by-step checklist
- Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Practical checklist (60 days before application)
- Finalize target universities & scholarship lists (3–6 options).
- Request recommendation letters (give referees 3 weeks).
- Draft SoP and CV — 3 tailored versions (one per university type).
- Book test dates (IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, GMAT as required).
- Set budget and find at least 2 scholarship matches that cover fees or living costs.
FAQ — quick answers
Q: Can I get a full scholarship with moderate grades?
A: Yes — sometimes your project plan, work experience, and strong SoP outweigh a lower GPA. Apply widely and focus on narrative.
Q: Are university rankings important?
A: Rankings help but focus on specific program reputation and faculty relevance. A mid-rank university with a strong research group in your field beats a general top ranked university without the right supervisors.
