AYUSH SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME

Government of India through the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) has been offering scholarships to pursue Ayurveda Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy courses in India since 2005. The total number of scholarships offered for AYUSH courses initially was 30. Resurgence of AYUSH at international level has resulted in growing demand from foreign students to study in Indian Institutions. Keeping this in mind, the Department of AYUSH had proposed to support foreign nationals under its international fellowship programme forundertaking AYUSH courses at premier institutions in India. In addition to the 30 scholarships provided initially, another 20 scholarships are being provided under the International Cooperation scheme of the Department of AYUSH. The Department is also providing 20 scholarships to students of Malaysia.
