ICCR scholarships 2021-22 for Greek Nationals

The Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) has announced the offering of scholarships to foreign nationals, for the academic year 2021-22, under the General Scholarship Scheme and the Scholarship Scheme for Indian Culture

A. General Scholarship Scheme

Last date for submission of applications 30 May 2021. Read more HERE

B. Scholarship Scheme for Indian Culture
This scholarship scheme was known until last academic year as “Scholarship scheme for Dance and music”. Due to its narrow scope limited to Indian dance and music and, more importantly, no provision for international airfare, the scheme was grossly under-utilized. ICCR has, therefore, decided to expand the scope of the scholarship scheme by renaming it as “ICCR Scholarship Scheme for Indian Culture” encompassing wider facets of Indian culture not just limited to dance and music but also to performing art, theatre, sculpture, Indian cuisine, etc. The scholarship will also provide international airfare to students. In all, there are 100 slots available for global applicants under this scholarship. Read more HERE
