Yes, Germany, Russia, and Japan all offer strong options for fully funded master's programs for Indian students.

- Germany: Public universities generally charge no tuition fees, and scholarships like DAAD offer monthly stipends and other support. This makes Germany especially attractive for fully funded study.
- Russia: The Russian government provides 300 fully funded scholarships for Indian students for the 2026-27 academic year, covering tuition and offering a wide range of eligible fields.
- Japan: The MEXT Scholarship and the Asian Development Bank-Japan Scholarship Program (JSP) cover tuition and provide monthly stipends, but application deadlines for the 2026-27 intake are in May 2026.

All three countries offer substantial funding, but application timelines and eligibility vary. If you need help with the application process or deadlines, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
