Hello Harshavardhan,
Congratulations on your admission! As an Indian student, there are several scholarships you may be eligible for, depending on factors such as academic performance, financial need, and other criteria set by ESSEC. I encourage you to explore the available Business, Management, Economics, and Accounting scholarships for international students in Singapore. Review the list, select the scholarships you're interested in, and apply after ensuring you meet the eligibility criteria. Additionally, you can explore other alternative scholarships to increase your chances of receiving financial support.
I also recommend considering an education loan, as it can provide additional financial assistance, rather than relying solely on scholarships. Good luck!
