📋 How G2H Scholarship Eligibility Works
The G2H scholarship is not automatic — it is awarded after a careful review of your complete profile. Meeting the mark threshold is the starting point, not the finish line. Here is how selection works:
Your previous academic percentage (Class 12 or Bachelor's) is used to assess which tier you qualify for — 70%, 75%, or 85%. This is the primary eligibility filter. Marks must be verified via official documents.
You must meet the English language requirement of your chosen university and course. Your IELTS or PTE score is verified as part of the eligibility check. A valid score is mandatory before the G2H scholarship can be confirmed.
Your full study abroad application — including university selection, document preparation, SOP, and submission — must be completed through Guide to Heights. The scholarship is not available to students who have applied to the university directly or through another agent.
You must have received a formal offer (conditional or unconditional) from the target university before the G2H scholarship selection process begins. Selection is confirmed after your offer, documents, and full profile are reviewed by the G2H team.
The G2H scholarship exists to give extra support to students who are not financially strong compared with others in the same cohort. This includes an informal review of family financial background. Students with stronger financial means may still be eligible for the university scholarship but may not receive the G2H award.
The cash scholarship is awarded at the point of confirmed enrolment — meaning your university has accepted you, your student visa is being processed, and your application journey is fully through Guide to Heights. This is a one-time payment at that milestone.
