Education: A Mirror of Society: 2022

<div style="text-align: justify;">The Government of India continues to offer fully online higher-education scholarships to students from participating African countries through the e-VidyaBharati and e-ArogyaBharati Network Project (e-VBAB) and its iLearn platform.
Under the programme, India committed 15,000 scholarships for African students and professionals to study online at participating Indian universities and institutions. Courses are available at undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma and certificate levels.

For approved students, the Government of India pays the programme fees directly to the participating university.
The scholarship covers costs including:
<ul data-end="1767" data-start="1649">
<li data-end="1664" data-section-id="18wysuq" data-start="1649">
tuition fees;

</li>
<li data-end="1767" data-section-id="y7wggs" data-start="1732">
other approved programme charges.
</li>
</ul>
Students should not pay anyone to obtain the e-VBAB scholarship. The official portal states that there is no mandate for anybody to charge learners for the scholarship. 
Because the programmes are delivered online, the scholarship does not provide accommodation, international travel or living allowances.

<h2 data-end="4034" data-section-id="czzsoi" data-start="4015">Important update</h2>
The e-VBAB/iLearn scholarship scheme remains active. However, the iLearn university page currently states that upcoming courses are yet to be updated. Applicants should therefore check the portal for programmes specifically marked as open for enrolment rather than relying on an old intake deadline. 
Only one application per candidate is allowed in an academic session, and continued scholarship support depends on satisfactory academic progress. </div>
