National wide Scholarships

Most of my earlier posts were about local scholarships which is exclusively available for kerala students. We do have many scholarships available national wide(which can be applied by any Indian nationals). I thought its better to segregate those scholarships in another blog, which may be helpful the students through out India.

We will discuss natioanl wide scholarships ove their. You can visit the blog either by clickhere or please visit http://sholarship-india.blogspot.com/

hope this initiative will help some more students

KSBCDC Loan Scholarship For Backward claases

Why can't we call an education loan at an interest rate as low as 4% as a loan scholarship? When our economy is growing at a rate of 8% and an inflation of 11.5% certainly 4% is negligibly small. More over getting a tax benefit during your employment for the interest you are going to repay.


Lets look at the educational loan scheme from Kerala Backward classes development corporation(KSBCDC), which covers 90% of your education expenditure subject to a maximum of 50000 per year.

The applicants annual parental income should be less than 55000 INR and currently the loan is available for professional education

One plus point for the minorities is they need to pay only 3% as interest.
