Foreign Education Scheme
About Foreign Education Scheme
The Social Justice and Empowerment Department, Gujarat, introduced the “Foreign Education Scheme” for bright students from economically weaker sections who want to study abroad at a higher level. The money helps pay tuition fees, living costs and other study expenses, and repayment is flexible so that students can pay back after finishing their course. The Gujarat Unreserved Education and Economical Development Corporation administers the scheme.
