However, pursuing BA from a foreign university can cost you above 15 lakhs. You can apply for a BA Scholarship to the respective university after you get admission. The majority of the universities offer scholarships if the annual household income of a student is less than $65,000 per year. This amount covers the whole or some part of the tuition fee and may be used for accommodation expenses.
