When we talk about paying for education, scholarships serve as the best financial assistance as there is no need to pay back the amount. This as a result makes students a little burden-free by removing the economic constraint and providing them quality education without any compromise. So we are up with a few scholarships which are confined to the economically weaker sections which are funded either by the government or some organizations.
Below are some of the recently updated scholarships along with the basic information plus the links that direct to their original website.
