You have several scholarship and loan options to help cover a study abroad budget of around ₹20 lakhs, especially for the UK and New Zealand.

Scholarships:
- UK: Options include Chevening Scholarships (fully funded, highly competitive), GREAT Scholarships (£10,000 towards tuition), and various university-specific merit scholarships (often £2,000 - £10,000).
- New Zealand: The government and universities offer scholarships that can cover tuition, living expenses, or provide up to NZD 10,000.

Education Loans:
- UK: Banks like SBI, HDFC Credila, and Axis Bank typically offer loans up to ₹75 lakhs or more, with interest rates and collateral requirements varying by amount.
- New Zealand: InCred and HDFC Credila provide loans up to ₹20 - 75 lakhs, with interest rates from 12.25% - 13% (subject to change).

Combining scholarships, loans, and personal savings is a practical way to meet your budget.
