Yes, fellowships are awards awarded based on merit, either internally or externally. Fellowships are generally awarded to graduate students to support their postgraduate studies or research without having them the need to pay any service (teaching/research assistantship) to the university/institution where they are enrolled.

Scholarship is a type of award that is either awarded on a merit basis or a need basis. Students who are good at studies and need financial aid to support their studies are generally considered for scholarships. Scholarships often include a fixed amount of funds/stipend that is provided either once or in different instalments directly/indirectly to the educational institutions. This amount of scholarship can only be used towards university/school expenses requested for. Only a few scholarships also include expenses to cover the living expenses of students putting up in a foreign country.
Stipend on the other hand is a fixed income

No, despite having some similarities, stipends and fellowships are not the same. Both the fellowships and stipends are forms of financial support for individuals in academic settings but neither is always considered regular employment compensation. Both can be included in fellowship programs, with stipends often being a component of fellowship funding.
Let us learn about the differences between a fellowship and a stipend below.
| Fellowship | Stipend |
|---|---|
| Support educational experiences | Support living expenses or costs |
| Enhance academic experience and career growth | Provide basic financial support |
| Some may include work expectations | Generally don't expect work in return |
| Can be considered compensation in some cases | Not considered compensation for services |
| Often funded by foundations, NSF, and NIH | Common in fellowships and training grants |

To convert SGPA to percentage, you generally need to multiply your SGPA by 10 and then subtract 7.5 from it. Hence, the SGPA to percentage conversion formula is:
Percentage = (SGPA * 10) - 7.5
However, this conversion method can vary depending on the specific university or institution's grading scale. It's always best to consult your university's guidelines or academic office for an accurate conversion formula.
