Overview
About SHEAMBGOC
The Scholarships for Higher Education Abroad to Meritorious Boys and Girls from Open Category is a Maharashtra state scholarship for students who want to study overseas. The Higher and Technical Education Department, working through its Directorate of Higher Education, runs the scheme and issued the governing resolution in 2018.
The award is a composite one. Selected students receive support towards tuition at the foreign university, along with a maintenance allowance for living costs, health cover for the period of study, and a one-time economy airfare. The aim is to let students from the open category take up postgraduate, post-graduate diploma, and doctoral study abroad without the full cost falling on the family.
The scheme is meant for open-category candidates who are Indian citizens and domiciled in Maharashtra, and who have secured admission to a foreign institution ranked within the top 200 of the QS or Times Higher Education world rankings. Applications are handled through the department's foreign scholarship portal.
