Can I expect a large sum from Tata scholarships, and how much do they usually give for study abroad?

What Tata scholarships pay differs by program and by how much support each applicant needs. A few are loans and the rest are gifts, so check which type you are looking at.

Approximate Maximum Amounts

What the Money Can Help With

• Tuition fees for eligible courses or universities.
• Day-to-day living and study costs while you are overseas.
• Partial financial support through grants or scholarships.
• Substantial need-based aid for eligible Cornell University undergraduates.
• Pilot training and type-rating costs, under the Civil Aviation Grants.
• Do not assume the maximum will be given to everyone, because the final amount depends on the scholarship rules and your eligibility.

My Advice

Treat these figures as upper limits, not promises, and plan your budget so that you can manage if you receive less. Read the official rules for each scholarship, check whether it is a loan or a gift, and apply to more than one source of funding.
