Yes, you can still pursue studies abroad even if you have limited funds. There are several options to help manage costs:

- Scholarships and Grants: Many governments and universities offer scholarships for international students, including merit-based and need-based awards.
- Education Loans: Indian banks and government schemes provide loans covering tuition, travel, and living expenses. International loans are also available but may have stricter requirements.
- Assistantships and Part-Time Work: Some graduate programs offer teaching or research assistantships with stipends. In many countries, students can work part-time during studies (subject to visa rules).
- Budget Planning: Choosing cost-effective destinations and planning your finances carefully can make studying abroad more affordable.

If you need help identifying suitable funding options, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for personalized guidance.
