The Education Future International Scholarship is a unique scholarship fund which has been created by the scholarship winners worldwide. All the like minded winners have come to a decision to fund the next batch of students with whatever they can contribute. This is a concept of giving back to the society for the cause of education with a focus on building a brighter and smarter future.
The Education Future International Scholarship application processing and selection is done in 3 rounds as detailed below:
Applicants should reflect that they lack means of self-funding their education abroad. Hence, the applicant should be planning to fund himself at least 50% through an education loan. The education loan has to be applied and sanctioned via our processing partner WeMakeScholars, which is an initiative supported and funded by Govt. of India under the Digital India initiative. As per the agreed terms, WeMakeScholars team will provide special support to the scholarship applicants and make sure their education loan is processed within a stipulated time frame of 10-15 days. In case you already started your education loan process in a bank/ NBFC, please mention it in the online application form of the Scholarship.
The winner/s of the Education Future International Scholarship will be notified within 14 days from the date of selection using the contact number and email address as provided in the scholarship application. After the candidate/s is notified about the selection for the scholarship, they will have to accept all the necessary terms and conditions in writing and also produce documents or information if any as required the Education Future International Scholarship committee, all within the timeline of 14 days from the day of receiving the notification email. The candidate will be declared as the final winner or recipient of the Education Future International Scholarship once the Education Future International Scholarship committee will verify the documents and subsequently confirm the candidate’s eligibility.
If the candidate fails to respond within the respective timeline requested by the Education Future International Scholarship committee under situations like the no response to emails or phone calls, then such candidate forfeits all rights to the Scholarship. The Education Future International Scholarship committee shall have no liability to the Candidate whatsoever, and the Education Future International Scholarship committee reserves the right to select an alternative Recipient for the Scholarship.
The recipient of the Scholarship will be provided the scholarship grant letter after the submission of the final admit copy but prior to the visa interview. Within 90 days of the same, the candidate has to get back to us with the visa copy. Upon successful receipt of the visa copy, the awarded scholarship amount will be directly transferred to the recipient’s nominated bank account via Wire transfer. There is no restriction on the way the amount is utilized as long as it is spent for the studies abroad.
