subject: How to get scholarships from colleges [print this page] Also, few of the top most colleges in India, have separate tests for scholarship students. The eligibility to these tests is on the merit basis and the students must have good score in their senior secondary school and also in their graduation, if they are through with it. It is the loss of the students, if they miss the scholarship opportunities, because if they do not grab it, then most of the colleges sell them as paid seats. Therefore, the students must make every possible effort to get them qualified for the scholarship programmes. Having a good social network also helps the students to not miss the scholarship opportunity. Though, scholarship is a tough nut to crack, but the students must be positive about it and try and grab the best opportunity. Scholarship programmes, sometimes also grant a great job after education to students, so it's just not worth missing.
