While it is unlikely that you will receive a completely financed scholarship, you can search for scholarships that will pay the majority of your costs. Here is a list of the top 5 scholarships, along with a description of all they cover.
Chevening Scholarship
Funded by the UK government, the scholarship rewards up to £18,000 (INR 18,00,000). The acceptance rate for the Chevening Scholarship is around 3%. As an example in 2019, of the 63000 applicants, only 1800 were awarded the scholarship.
Fulbright Nehru Master’s fellowship
The scholarship covers - a J-1 USA student visa support facility, economic class flight fares (round trip from the student’s hometown to the institution in the USA), 75%tuition fees, accident and sickness coverage as per the U.S. Government guidelines.
The scholarship is awarded to just 4000 international students each year.
Vanier Graduate Scholarships
Funded by the Canadian government, this scholarship grants CAD 50000 which is roughly 30 Lakhs INR. While the number of scholarships granted is 166, they have a pretty competitive review process, making it tough for you to get into that number of 166 selected students.
Commonwealth Scholarship
Apart from the tuition fees, it covers airfare from the home country to the UK and return. The UK government also gives you a living allowance worth GBP 1084 per month. But the catch here is that this scholarship is awarded to ONLY 700 students each year, and the no. of applications is easily 90 Thousand to a Lakh.
Charles Wallace India Trust Scholarship
Only 10 long term grants are awarded each year which cover tuition fees, and will also contribute GBP 600 towards your international travel. But do you see, just 10 grants a year!
As previously said, these scholarships have a quite low acceptance rate, so you need to be certain that your profile satisfies their standards. Not all schools in a country will accept a single award, and different countries provide various scholarships. The argument is that the scholarships accepted would differ between nations, universities, programmes, etc.
So factors like your desired country, school, program, all of it will help you find the right scholarship for you.

Yes, you can pursue a master’s in computer science or data analytics with a background in management studies. This interdisciplinary approach is increasingly valued in today’s data-driven world, where management skills combined with technical proficiency can lead to impactful careers.
First, review the admission requirements of the programs you are interested in. You may need to take some foundational courses in computer science, mathematics, or statistics, as these are crucial for understanding technical concepts in both computer science and data analytics.
Many universities welcome students from diverse academic backgrounds and appreciate the different perspectives they bring. To strengthen your application, consider taking online courses in relevant subjects and obtaining certifications in programming languages or analytical tools.

To find out whether you qualify for a scholarship, one must visit the particular scholarship website that interests him/her. Many scholarships have their webpage, usually indicating eligibility criteria, which of course differs substantially from one scholarship to another. They would consider your previous academic background, your place of origin, the course you would be undertaking, or sometimes even your extracurriculars or your leadership qualities…
For instance, if you are targeting a government-funded scholarship, such as an Australia Award, or one provided directly by the university itself, there also exists this minimum academic requirement to be achievedwhich oftentimes is determined with a student's GPA. However, beyond that, some scholarships are tailored toward students from specific countries or even going into specific programs.
The amount you are going to get? It depends on the scholarship itself. Some pay tuition for the full amount, while others just pay part of it. And some are very generous in awarding a certain amount that would meet your expenses for living. Of course, the page of the scholarship will usually state what that amount is, be it in full or partial, and be it in payment of everything or just the cost-cutting of your studies. So, check if it covers things such as housing, travel, or insurance…
If you really have some trouble finding that information, you can always contact the scholarship office or the admissions team. They're usually really helpful and can clear up any confusion.

Find the scholarships you may qualify for by doing searches on scholarships your preferred institution or university offers. Most universities appear to have scholarship pages that highlight the eligibility criteria, such as academic achievements, financial need, country of origin, or areas of study.
In addition, you can find external scholarship organizations such as government programs and international foundations that may have specific eligibility criteria. Recognize that every scholarship has its own deadline and application procedure.
The scholarship amount can vary greatly and the amounts you could receive. Some may offer only partial funding, while others are full scholarships with housing expenses, travel, and health insurance. Typically, the scholarship varies between a few thousand and above AUD 50,000 per year, depending on the program and institution.
Just get the stats right by checking the offer details on the concerned university or organization's website. In case of any confusion, contacting the financial aid office at the institution would provide personal advice
