Scholarship/fellowship suggestions for an MTech student with no stipend.

Engineering

Short and simple: Can I please get some suggestions on any scholarships for general male post graduate student? Keep reading for the long version.

I am a first year masters student in semiconductor technology course from CeNSE department at IISc Bangalore. My background qualifications are BTech in ECE from IIIT Trichy - gold medalist.

Due to my mode of entry (CFTI), I don't get the stipend that people coming from GATE get. Initially I tried for part time internships, but the academic schedules in IISc are so hectic and I can't manage even an hour of extra work everyday. I am searching for scholarships that just cover my monthly hostel and food costs, nothing much.

For a general male student, what are the options that are available? Family income is not much either, father left his job recently and looking at other business options. But I don't think I would be covered under the economic ones as well. Unfortunately, I am not eligible to apply for Reliance foundation scholarship as well. I tried NSP and there are almost nothing that I am eligible in.

Are there any such scholarships/fellowships available that are based only on merit? What other alternatives do I have? Talking to my peers has not resulted in any meaningful solutions, they all get the stipend so don't care about my problems. Can I get some advice?
