List of scholarships

I just got done with my interview at Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation yesterday and realised that I could do with some more sharing.
Funding one's education can be BIG pain, especially you've been selected at an awesome university abroad (speaking from within India's borders:)) and the university doesn't have a tie-up with a local bank to assist students with bank loans. Even in places where tie-ups exist, higher education costs a lot. Enter scholarships.
With my usual love for Microsoft Excel, I started to look up scholarships that I could apply to. This was followed by the research on the net and cold calling scholarships' admin offices as
king them about the value of scholarships, eligibility, etc. The image (its a pain to create tables on blogger.com, hence, the easier fix of uploading an image:)) on the right is the summary of the scholarships I researched on. The first section has all the scholarships I applied to (so good for anyone applying for an MBA abroad). The second section has scholarships I couldn't/didn't apply to. Hope this information will be useful to another scholarship seeker (click the pic to get a higher resolution image)!
