How life-science applicants win funding like this

Most Indian applicants for Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship lose on the same three things — not on marks.

Manna Educare is founder-led by Dr Chathyushya K B, PhD (Microbiology, ICMR-NIN) — so profile and research positioning is reviewed by an actual scientist, not a sales desk. We help you build the case; the funder decides. We never guarantee a scholarship.

Common questions

Who is eligible for the Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship?

50 percent grant and 50 percent loan for outstanding students with demonstrated financial need from developing countries. Always confirm the current criteria on the official page before applying — funders update rules yearly.

How much is the Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship worth?

It is typically worth about ₹15 lakh – ₹30 lakh depending on the cycle, your programme and living costs. Treat this as an indicative planning figure, not a quoted amount.

When is the deadline?

Annual Jan-Mar — applications usually open several months before. Start preparing documents at least 3 months ahead, because a rushed SOP is the most common reason strong applicants lose funding.

Can Manna Educare guarantee I will get this scholarship?

No, and be wary of anyone who says otherwise. Scholarships are decided by the funder alone. What we do is make your application as strong as it honestly can be — profile positioning, SOP and LOR quality, and choosing universities where your profile genuinely fits.
