SCHOLARSHIPS
FOR KERALA.

Every scholarship a Kerala student should know about, in one place.

A counsellor-verified, public directory of government, private trust, corporate, and international scholarships for Kerala & Indian students. We don't sell, we don't ad-aggregate, we don't process applications. We track real, live scholarships and route you straight to the official sites.

A scholarship list a counsellor would actually recommend.

Most "scholarship portals" are ad farms. Ours is curated by Nexthara counsellors who've helped 100+ Kerala students fund their education. Three things make it different.

01 — Verified
✓

No ad-junk. No dead links.

Every entry was checked by a Nexthara counsellor against the official source. We drop scholarships when their official URL breaks.

02 — Kerala-first
🌴

Schemes you don't see anywhere else.

e-Grantz, CMSS Kerala, Snehapoorvam, MES Lateef, Hassan Ibn Thabit, Mar Thoma Trust — Kerala-specific scholarships that national directories miss.

03 — Direct routing

You apply on the official site.

Quick questions.

If you're not sure whether to apply, ask. Real counsellors, no chatbots.

Are these scholarships actually live?
Yes — every entry links to the official application URL. Some are open right now (look for the green "open" tag in the deadline field). Others are annual cycles where we list the typical opening month so you can plan ahead.
Do you charge for this?
No. The portal is free. The counsellor shortlist via WhatsApp is free. We don't sell student data and don't take a cut from scholarship issuers. Our paid business is education loans for Kerala students going abroad — that's how we keep the lights on.
Can I apply through Nexthara?
No — and you should be skeptical of anyone who says you can "apply through them". Every scholarship is filed directly with its issuing body (government, university, foundation). We just route you to the right official URL.
What's the difference between this and Buddy4Study?
Aggregator portals are ad-driven — they list everything, including dead links and predatory schemes. We're counsellor-curated and Kerala-focused. Smaller list, higher signal.
Can I add a scholarship?
Yes — email hello@nexthara.in with the official URL and we'll review and add it. We don't take submissions for paid placement.
How is this Kerala's "first" portal?
First counsellor-verified, Kerala-focused scholarship portal — meaning curated by people who actually advise Kerala students daily, not auto-scraped from government RSS feeds. Registered under Kerala Startup Mission.
