Scholarship Exam Details

The Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship Program (ISP) is an elite global award for outstanding students from developing countries, including India. It is specifically for Postgraduate studies (Master's and PhD) at reputable universities worldwide. For 2026, the scholarship is structured as 50% Grant and 50% Loan. This means you only repay half of what you receive, making it an extremely favorable "soft loan." It covers tuition fees and living expenses. The Foundation prioritizes students who have no other means of funding and who are committed to returning to their home country to contribute to development. It is highly competitive, with the 2026 cycle opening in January.
