Do German universities give scholarships to me as an Indian computer science student?

→

Yes, but most funding comes from national schemes rather than universities. The Deutschlandstipendium pays EUR 300 monthly (approx INR 31,900) once you are enrolled at a participating university, while DAAD's STEM master's scholarship (EUR 992 monthly) does not list India among its countries, so check DAAD first.

Should I target Canadian universities with scholarships for my computer science studies?

→

Yes. Waterloo, UBC and Toronto list entrance awards or graduate funding that Indian students can try, while Manitoba's Graduate Fellowship lists CAD 20,000 yearly (approx INR 13.6 L) for two years of MSc study. Research-based master's programs usually carry far better funding than course-based ones.

Where can I find US university scholarships for my computer science degree?

→

Yes, but few are computer science specific. Universities such as Harvard meet 100% of demonstrated need for international undergraduates, graduate students mainly rely on assistantships that can cover tuition and living costs, and external awards like the JN Tata Endowment offer loan scholarships for Indians.
