Hi @trupti
GyanDhan Scholarship amount is INR 1 lakh. In fact, there are very few scholarships that will cover the entire cost of your education abroad.
However, I’m listing some scholarships here that will cover some of the expenses. Please bear in mind that these scholarships are merit-based, meaning you will win one if your profile and academic scores are excellent.
- KC Mahindra Scholarship -
- JN Tata Endowment -
- Inlaks Foundation Scholarship
- Global Study Award
- National Overseas Scholarship Scheme by the Indian Government
- Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship Programme
- Scholarships by The Lady Meherbai D Tata Education Trust
- Narotam Sekhsaria Scholarship Program

There are more government scholarships based on the country you are targeting. For example, the Canadian government has scholarships for international students like - Ontario Graduate scholarships. These are again merit-based. So make sure your academic record is pristine.
Apart from this, there are scholarships provided by universities as well. Based on your need and academic record, abroad universities provide financial aid to international students.
Next, since you do not have collateral (property) or a co-applicant, you can apply for the loan from an international lender. These lenders give education loans to international students without any collateral or co-applicant. The loan application is evaluated on the student’s profile - academic record, extracurriculars, their future earning potential, and the target college and course. Another thing that you should keep in mind is that they have a list of pre-approved courses and universities. To be eligible for a loan from them, your target course and college should be on that list.

As for the courses you have mentioned, you can explore these countries and universities -
UK - the country has a longer post-study work visa. Read about it here. There are good universities in the UK that are also affordable, like the University of Stirling, Southampton Solent University, University of Bedfordshire.
New Zealand - there are affordable universities like - the University of Otago, Victoria University of Wellington, University of Canterbury.
Germany - German public universities do not charge tuition fees from students, even international students. You will only be required to pay a semester or administration fee of around 300 Euros to 400 Euros.
If you require information on any specific country or course, please mention it in this thread and I will get to back you with useful information.
I hope this answer helped get an idea and a direction. All the best!
