How it works?
At Masters Scholarship, our goal is to identify and support talented candidates who demonstrate strong academic potential, personal merit, and clarity of purpose. Here’s how you can get started:
Step 1: Profile Evaluation:
Start by checking your eligibility in the "Who Can Apply"
section. If you meet the criteria, proceed by filling out the Preliminary Application
Form through the “Apply Now” button. Once we receive your application, our admissions
team will thoroughly evaluate your profile based on the details provided. This includes
your academic background, career goals, and overall fit. Based on this initial
screening, selected candidates will be invited to the interview stage.
Step 2: Interview Process
Process Shortlisted candidates will undergo a 30 to 45-minute interview with our
scholarship panel. This session will assess your academic achievements, skillset,
clarity of thought, communication abilities, and value alignment. We follow a
comprehensive point-based evaluation system, where each candidate is scored across
multiple parameters including:
→ Academic excellence
→ Extracurricular involvement
→ Communication and interpersonal skills
→ Motivation and career clarity
→ Alignment with the values of Masters Scholarship
Your total score will determine whether you are
shortlisted for a scholarship slot.
Step 3: Guaranteed Scholarship Grant
If you’re successfully
shortlisted, you’ll be awarded a scholarship grant linked to a specific university. This
grant is provided exclusively by Masters Scholarship and is in addition to any
university-level or external scholarships you may be eligible for.
Note: If you secure a Guaranteed Scholarship Grant, you will automatically become
eligible for the Merit Scholarship as well.
Application Timeline
We offer four application rounds for the Masters Scholarship program. Each round has its own deadlines, but applying early significantly boosts your chances.

How Is Your Profile Evaluated?

personal drive, and alignment with the values of the Masters Scholarship program.
