Am I eligible for the Charles Wallace India Trust long-term scholarship for the UK?
For the CWIT long-term scholarship, you must be an Indian citizen living in India, aged 28 to 38, with a first degree, diploma or professional qualification, relevant experience, a confirmed UK university place, a supported field, and no CWIT grant in the previous five years.
