Mumbai, 28th March 2024: Physics Wallah (PW), India’s leading edtech company, has launched the first edition of The Global Icons Scholarship worth Rs 50 lakh under its newly-launched study abroad initiative AcadFly.

The Global Icons Scholarship is open for students looking to pursue their masters degrees in over 1,000 leading international universities in the US, UK, and Canada. Students can apply starting from March 26 on https://www.acadfly.com. AcadFly, previously known as PW Unigo, aims to become a one-stop solution for students aspiring to pursue overseas education. AcadFly will also assist students in making informed decisions in their educational journey and help them in university shortlisting, admission counseling, student loans, and visas while also providing pre-departure support with accommodation, forex, among others.

Mayank Sharma, Senior Vice President at Physics Wallah, said, “Through AcadFly, we want to provide holistic support and guidance to students who lack the necessary support to commence their overseas educational journey. High cost of attendance is often the single biggest hurdle that deters students from embarking on their study abroad journey. The Global Icons Scholarship is an effort to help reduce the financial burden. By facilitating access to global education, AcadFly is laying the foundations for a brighter future for aspiring Indian students.”

Additionally, in January, Physics Wallah (PW) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ETS India, a subsidiary of US-based ETS, the world’s largest private educational assessment, research, and measurement organization, to provide holistic guidance and support to students aspiring to study in leading international universities and help them prepare for the GRE® and TOEFL® exams.
