Hi, I'm Neladri Sekhar of class 12. I love Biology very much and I want to study Medicine in abroad. Is there any scholarship for me?

I want to complete MBBS and it my dream. I'm not very good in English and I'm a mediocre student. But study in abroad is very expensive and for my parent, it is very hard to invest money in my education. So, I'm searching for scholarship and is there any financial help system for me?
