About scholarships
Scholarships are one of the best ways to reduce the cost of studying abroad. And when you land a well-known one, it doesn’t just save money, it makes your profile stand out!
There are all kinds of scholarships available : merit-based, need-based, university-specific, and even ones offered through government tie-ups between countries.
For example -
India–USA: Fulbright-Nehru Master's Fellowship- India–UK: Chevening Scholarship
- India–Japan: MEXT (Monbukagakusho) Scholarship

At #PGS, we don't believe in giving you a list of scholarships to apply and hope for the best.
We've built our own proven process through real student cases.
First, we understand your profile and get a rough idea of where you stand. Then we shortlist the scholarships that actually might work for you. From there, we work backwards (we call it reverse engineering), shaping your documents, profile and fitting scholarship eligibility requirements.
It's a system that works. And it's what makes our students stand out. We have listed few key steps below.
- Analyze your academic background, work experience (if any), and achievements
- Create a target list of scholarships
- Create a timeline for each scholarship deadline
- Help tailor each application to specific scholarship requirements
- Connect you with previous scholarship recipients
- Track application progress and deadlines
- Address any concerns or roadblocks

I’ve picked up a really valuable skill set that makes my CV stand out. I realized you don’t always have to keep applying everywhere—you can actually focus on improving your current application, make it stronger and more efficient, and seriously boost your chances of getting selected.
