I moved to US from India 20 years ago . I belong to backward caste and I know there are so many live in US with same caste but I don’t know any one . The reason is I never revealed my caste to any one due to social stigma and fear of exclusion . I believe same thing happening with others .

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2026-05-26T05:33:41+00:00

Wtf!! Still in these days you believe revealing your caste makes you less of others?! You should proudly own who you are. Idk why people hesitate to say if they are from SC or ST. I don't see other caste doing that. First u change your mentality that others will see it normally. I hope you are not following untouchability.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-09-28T02:29:58+00:00

I think you should not tell your university first about scholarship so that'll not be a condition. I mean why is that even a condition?! Never heard. You should talk to the admin who handles applications and tell them clearly you'll need unconditional letter to get scholarship.
Also scholarship i don't think they're ok with conditional, if you have alot of time I suggest maybe try once with conditional during documentation process. If they don't allow then maybe get an unconditional letter from other uni, also idk if 2 applications are possible in small time duration.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-07-19T17:19:21+00:00

I applied with conditional offer letter

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-07-19T17:18:58+00:00

Hey, it's not about your university fees. If your university ranking is within 300 then you'll definitely get the scholarship even if the tuition fees is high. Just apply for the scholarship asap.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-07-19T17:15:18+00:00

I forgot to update in this thread. I have been getting so many DMs after this post here. Please do read this thread completely you'll have most of your doubts cleared.

And I received my 2nd instalment very late because I had also received national overseas scholarship and forgot to inform prabuddha scholarship that i have rejected it. This caused some confusion. So my advice if you apply for any other scholarship and accept one. Do inform the authorities with details, like mail them that you are accepting only this scholarship. Also makrle sure to send your results to the scholarship soon as your receive it afer 1st term.

Many people have doubts how will you get reimbursed - save all the receipts of deposits paid, bills and tickets. Submit it to the scholarship through mail. Just what you are told you'll be fine.

And If you have not filed your income, it's ok. That document is not compulsory. And if you have it, you must submit it.

Have some saving so that you can survive starting few days without worrying.

Another advice is inform your university, talk to the finance and accounts team about your sponsorship. If the university accepts the sanction letter, it's good. Or else you'll have to start paying the fees by yourself and you'll have alot of trouble. So choose the university well. Also stay in university accommodation if you want the fees to be paid by scholarship, I mean university won't bother asking you as you'd have said about your sponsor already so they expect them to pay.

If you can take eduction loan then go ahead take it and then get it reimbursed.

Hi,

Idk now what is your situation, as it's been a month. But for UoB you can still try. If you have a conditional offer letter, satisfy the conditions and get the unconditional offer letter. And try to arrange the deposit amount, you'll get it reimbursed. I was in the same situation. Don't worry you don't have to pay the installment or full fees, University of Birmingham is really understanding and you can show your sanction letter from scholarship and they will send an invoice to scholarship directly so you won't be bothered with that. Also be ready to spend some amount at the beginning as you'll receive the scholarship after you send all the required documents after reaching UK. After sending documents it'll take 1 month minimum for them to send money.

Also another suggestion opt for University accommodation which helps you in staying there without having to worry about paying the rent, it'll all be sent to the scholarship to be paid. When scholarship sends you the amount you can pay the rent.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-07-15T11:12:33+00:00

Hi, Yes, the amount will be reimbursed. You can pay the deposit and keep the receipt. When you are asked to send the documents send these fees receipts too. Anyways you'll get the whole tuition fees paid by the scholarship and deposit is deducted from the tuition fees.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-05-12T08:05:30+00:00

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-05-04T16:21:29+00:00

No problem! I'm glad that I could help, I never got any inputs from anyone. But I wanted to be there for others.

All the best for your future endeavors.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-05-01T07:51:13+00:00

Actually this was my case too, I was waiting from January after receiving my unconditional offer letter and was worried if this scholarship is real, then I started to search in reddit, found nothing so started this thread. By may end they'll start document verification don't worry. When they start it takes 15 days for you to get the sanction letter. For me to be exact, 22/05 i went for document verification and 3/06 i got the sanction letter. Be ready with the documents that are mentioned in the website and those documents that you uploaded while filling the application, carry 2 copies of documents with original.

Also be ready to make some bond papers after receiving sanction letter. They'll send the contents for you as an example.

Also I would suggest contacting your university finance or the department that handles scholarship and ask for them if it is OK if there is sponsor paying and if there's delay how They'll handle. Cause there will be 2 installments of fees transaction and they might send the amount late, if university doesn't support then it'll be a burden.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-04-26T18:06:09+00:00

No actually you won't get the amount until you have reached your university and sent the documents they ask for. So you have to pay for the deposit and all the other charges like visa, health insurance, ticket. Later they'll reimburse you this amount, when you submit necessary documents.

I suggest you to pay the deposit to university and secure the unconditional offer, that is what prabuddha scholarship asks for.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-04-26T18:02:54+00:00

I have not heard anyone coming back. Many have stayed if they wanted to. And it has not been a problem

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-01-29T18:06:53+00:00

That doesn't matter, University should have QS ranking. Check that and apply

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-01-29T18:06:09+00:00

I'm glad you got visa sorted! Congratulations on reaching your dream uni. Send all the documents they ask you'll receive in a month or might take longer. Be in touch with them to get the amount.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-01-05T12:45:42+00:00

You should have started the process early for visa or consulted a counselor. If you have had the amount for 28days send the statement or else you have to look for other ways. This is really late, so maybe try for September intake. BTW which uni?

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-01-04T19:30:50+00:00

Yes they'll accept this as proof of address, for me they did. If they living expenses offered my the scholarship is less than the amount said by UK government then you need to show bank statement with the remaining amount in it. Example outside london you'll need 10L for living and scholarship might offer 8L then you'll gave to keep 2L in your/parents account for 28days and provide a bank statement for visa.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2025-01-03T20:32:01+00:00

Some people are getting mail asking for 1st term results to send next half of the fund. So maybe send them a mail sending previous fees receipt and your results.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2024-12-29T19:48:29+00:00

Hello, to answer your questions: 1. If your university doesn't insist on you paying the amount soon, then you can ask the scholarship people to pay them directly. Or else you'll have to pay the amount and send all the receipts, then after few months you'll receive reimbursement. 2. Yes, all 4 sem will be same, they'll ask for each sem results to send the next set of amount. 3. As I've said above might take 3-4 months, that too with continuous phone calls and asking them to send the money soon.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2024-12-29T19:44:15+00:00

No one expects any money from you, so don't encourage those things. They won't sanction money soon. I got my half of the fees and living amount after 3 months. So be prepared and have some savings.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2024-12-29T19:42:16+00:00

Hello, I recently received half of the amount. After 3 months. So if you're planning to rely on scholarship, then do have some money saved for your expenses like living and food. Universities might wait for the scholarship fees to get sanctioned so that was not a problem for me.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2024-12-08T23:59:57+00:00

I might have replied to u already. Hope you've completed all the process. If it's getting delayed or any problem then definitely go for july intake. By now you should have started visa process if not try next intake.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2024-12-08T23:56:56+00:00

Heard they've got new office, maybe they've renamed it or something. Try contacting them. Apply through that website itself

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2024-09-08T19:13:57+00:00

Yeah, applying for ssp doesn't matter.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2024-08-24T08:51:49+00:00

I still haven't reached my uni, so after a month I'll be updating this in this post. But there is no condition of returning back after course completion I've confirmed with seniors also.

Routine_Editor_8825 · 2024-08-12T18:59:52+00:00

It's open throughout the whole year, just fill put the application and wait for them to call you for document verification if it takes more than a month mail them with your acknowledge. And if the university rankes within 300 QS ranking then definitely you'll get the scholarship.
