Bharati Scheme for Master’s Degree Overseas(BSMDO)
Overview
About BSMDO
The Bharati Scheme for Master's Degree Overseas is a state financial-assistance scheme for Brahmin students of Andhra Pradesh who have secured admission to a master's programme abroad. It is run by the Andhra Pradesh Brahmin Welfare Corporation, the state body set up to support the community's education and welfare.
The scheme gives selected students one-time cash assistance towards the cost of studying overseas, with the amount set by the length of the course. The aim is narrow: to help students who have already won a place at a recognised institution abroad meet part of that expense.
It is meant for Brahmin students domiciled in Andhra Pradesh, and eligibility is subject to family-income, admission and domicile conditions checked at the point of application. Because admission alone does not secure the grant, check the full criteria on the official listing before you apply.
