Gujarat Raises Income Limit for Unreserved Students' Foreign Study Loan Scheme
The Gujarat government has raised the annual family income limit for unreserved category students to Rs 10 lakh from Rs 6 lakh under its Foreign Study Loan Scheme. Implemented by the Gujarat Unreserved Educational and Economical Development Corporation, the scheme offers loans up to Rs 15 lakh with a 4% interest rate for eligible students pursuing higher education abroad. The move aims to expand access for middle-income families, ensuring meritorious students can afford overseas studies covering tuition, accommodation, and living expenses.
