Closing the gap
- Multiple smaller scholarships often add up faster than chasing one big-prize award.
- Local scholarships (rotary clubs, alumni associations, employer-sponsored) have less competition than national ones.
- Work-study programs can cover ₹50,000–₹2 lakh / year while building resume.
- If gap stays large despite aid, consider transferring to a cheaper institution for years 1–2 then transferring back.
