AYUSH Scholarship Scheme
The Government of India, through the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) offers scholarships to foreign nationals to pursue various
Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Homoeopathy (AYUSH) courses in India. Acceptance of AYUSH at the international level has resulted in growing
demand from foreign students to study in Indian Institutions. The Ministry of AYUSH under its ‘International Fellowship Programme’
extends financial support to the eligible foreign nationals for undertaking AYUSH degree courses in premier Institutes in India.
Detailed guidelines on the process of applying for ICCR Scholarships online on the A2A Portal and the procedure and norms governing
