CM Samrat Chaudhary states that the student credit card of 4 lakh rupees for higher education in Bihar will continue to be available

Amid questions and concerns regarding the 'Student Credit Card' program in Bihar, the state government has fully clarified the situation. The Chief Minister of Bihar, Samrat Chaudhary, dispelled all doubts among students and their parents by sharing information on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

Minister Samrat Chaudhary emphasized that there have been no changes to the provision of the student credit card service up to 4 lakh rupees for pursuing higher education, and this service will continue to be provided as before.

He wrote in his post on X that students and parents should not doubt the 'Student Credit Card' program. He added that access to the student credit card up to 4 lakh rupees for higher education will remain unchanged.

Affirming the state government's commitment to youth and students, he stated that the Bihar government is fully focused on the education of its youth and their bright future. He also noted that financial resources will never be an obstacle to education.

It is worth noting that under this ambitious program by the Bihar government, students who have completed 12th grade are provided with a loan of up to 4 lakh rupees on concessional terms for pursuing higher education such as BTech, MBBS, BSc, or diploma programs. Recently, various rumors and uncertainty circulated on social media regarding the continuation of this program, which is now put to an end by the minister's statement.

This clarification from the government will bring significant relief to millions of students and their parents in the state who were worried about higher education expenses due to financial difficulties.

University of Sheffield offers scholarship worth £7,000 to international students from 10 countries

The University of Sheffield has announced a significant support program for young people aspiring to study abroad. The university will provide a scholarship of £7,000 for international students from 10 countries and regions planning to enroll in Master's programs in September 2027. This amount will be given as a tuition fee discount.

It is important to note that candidates do not need to submit a separate application to receive this scholarship; the university will review eligible applicants automatically. Interested students are advised to check the official scholarships website of the University of Sheffield for detailed information.

In addition to India, students from countries such as Indonesia, Japan, Kenya, Nigeria, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam may apply for this 2027 international Master's scholarship.

Several conditions must be met to participate in this scholarship program. Students must be enrolled in a postgraduate program in September 2027 and have an official invitation from the university. Furthermore, they must accept this offer by 4 PM British time on July 6, 2027. Additionally, applicants must be residents of the respective country or have lived there for the past five years. They must also qualify as international students for tuition payment and be prepared to cover their own study expenses. The scholarship is exclusively for those intending to study full-time on Master's programs, including MArch courses.

This financial aid does not apply to Postgraduate Diplomas (PGDip) or Postgraduate Certificates (PGCert). Online courses, distance learning, Crossways courses, and Erasmus Mundus programs are also excluded. Students studying in programs with high clinical costs are also not eligible. Moreover, the scholarship does not cover courses shared between the University of Sheffield and any other educational institution.

Generally, the £7,000 scholarship cannot be combined with other scholarships or discounts provided by the University of Sheffield itself. If a student receives financial support from an external organization, whether full or partial payment, both forms of aid cannot be used simultaneously. Similarly, if a student receives a loan from an organization affiliated with the university, they cannot utilize this scholarship. In cases of multiple funding sources, the one providing the larger sum will be applied. Students cannot extend this scholarship to the following academic year; deferring enrollment will result in the cancellation of the scholarship. However, students enrolled in a two-year Master's program may receive £7,000 in the second year, provided they successfully complete the first year. This scholarship is not available for years dedicated to industry work or study abroad.
