Is there a government scheme in Telangana that provides financial support or loans for students pursuing masters abroad for a Master's/Postgraduate?
Yes, Telangana offers grants up to Rs. 20 lakh through community-specific schemes like the Ambedkar Overseas Vidya Nidhi (SC/ST) and BC Overseas Vidya Nidhi, plus airfare and visa expense reimbursement. You must be a Telangana resident under 35 with family income below Rs. 5 lakh.
If you are from Telangana and worried about funding your master's abroad, the state government already runs a grant system that could cover a large chunk of your tuition, not just another loan.

My Advice
Apply through the Telangana ePASS portal as soon as your admission letter comes in, since the cycles open around August and January for the Fall and Spring intakes. Have your caste certificate, income certificate, and test scores scanned in advance, since a late submission can cost you an entire cycle.
