You can apply for a PhD with scholarships and funding in both the UK and Australia. Both countries offer fully funded opportunities for international students, including Indian applicants.

- UK: Major options include Commonwealth PhD Scholarships, Gates Cambridge Scholarship, and Rhodes Scholarship. These typically cover full tuition, a living stipend, and travel costs. Eligibility depends on academic excellence and research alignment.

- Australia: Look into the Research Training Program (RTP), Australia Awards Scholarships, and university-specific awards. These usually provide full tuition and a living allowance.

Scholarship details, coverage, and deadlines are subject to change. Start preparing your research proposal and academic documents early.

For tailored guidance and to identify the best scholarships for your profile, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
