Kadamb Scholarship Stacking Framework (4 Layers)

Layer 1 — University Merit Award: Apply with admission (automatic consideration). Most Sweden universities offer 25-100% tuition reduction.
Layer 2 — Government Scholarship: Sweden government national scholarship (largest awards, most competitive)
Layer 3 — EU/International Programs: Erasmus Mundus, Visegrad Fund, regional partnerships
Layer 4 — India-Origin Scholarships: Inlaks, JN Tata, KC Mahindra (top up funding for top tier students)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Applying without specific research alignment — generic motivation letters are usually rejected
Generic Letters of Recommendation — should be tailored to Sweden academic culture
Missing document apostille (MEA New Delhi for Indian credentials)
Late application — most Sweden scholarships close 6-9 months before intake
Not stacking — losing 30-50% potential funding by relying on single scholarship
