Are there government scholarships or internship schemes available that I can apply for to support my studies abroad in UK/Germany for a Master's?

Yes, there are several government scholarships and internship schemes you can apply for to support your studies abroad.

For master's programs in the USA (your target), the Fulbright-Nehru Fellowship is a key option. It typically covers full tuition, living expenses, health insurance, and airfare. The application deadline is usually in May each year (subject to change).

Other major government scholarships for Indian students include:
- Chevening Scholarships (UK): Full funding for one-year master's programs; requires two years of work experience.
- DAAD Scholarships (Germany): Covers tuition, living, and travel costs for various programs.
- MEXT Scholarship (Japan): Covers tuition, living expenses, and airfare.
- Erasmus Mundus (Europe): Full funding for select master's/doctoral programs.
- National Overseas Scholarship (India): For students from certain categories; covers costs for studies abroad.

Some U.S. government agencies also offer internships, but most are for U.S. citizens. A few, like the Department of Education and EPA, may have limited spots for international students.
