Rajiv Gandhi Scholarship For Academic Excellence(RGSFSAE)
Overview
About RGSFSAE
The Rajiv Gandhi Scholarship for Academic Excellence is a Government of Rajasthan scheme that helps meritorious students from the state study at leading universities abroad. It is a state-level scholarship run by Rajasthan's Technical Education Department and offered to individual students who have secured a place at a top-ranked foreign institution.
The support is financial and paid as cash assistance rather than a fee waiver or an in-kind benefit, easing the cost of an overseas degree for students who have already earned admission. Applications are made online through the state's scholarship portal.
It is aimed at students domiciled in Rajasthan who hold an offer from a qualifying foreign university, typically one ranked among the world's top 150. The exact eligibility, the recognised institutions and the amounts payable are set by the state; confirm the current terms with the Technical Education Department before you apply.
