Top scholarships to study in the USA

Students who study abroad not only gain higher quality education but also become more independent and adaptable to new cultures, experiences and challenges. Those who study in non-English speaking countries also get the chance to learn a new language. Studying in a foreign land gives you international exposure which helps you groom yourself as a global leader. Indian global leaders like Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella and Indra Nooyi had the opportunity to study abroad.
