Hello Codeforces,
Here is my story (skip to next paragraph if not interested). I am 14 yr boy from India.I am currently in grade 9. I am preparing for IOI and aiming for Silver/Bronze medal.
My dream is to get into international colleges like MIT,NUS,etc. But my family is not that much financially strong (my family income was just 3000$ or 3.20 lakh rupees per year).
So basically I want to know how much scholarship IOI medalists get at NUS,MIT,etc.. and The total fees for IOI medalists at NUS,MIT,etc..(in numbers or approx estimation in numbers).
I will politely request T1duS and RestingRajarshi to answer about the above question. As they were also from India and currently pursuing CS degree in NUS (Singapore).

Happy Coding!!
MIT is need-blind so you basically don't have to worry much financially if you get in. NUS has a 100% scholarship for gold medalists(only). You can explore the MOE tuition grant (3 years bond with 50% tuition off roughly) and the S&T scholarship (not everyone gets, 6-year bond with 100% tuition + other expenses covered roughly) though.
IOI medalists get better colleges than IITsis quite vague and not always true.I researched a bit about it on internet but found no sitesSeriously...?My story was exactly same as you. I think every Indian student preparing for IOI has same story.
