I personally am not applying for indigenous scholarship, waiting for overseas scholarships instead (faculty development program for UESTPs, Chinese govt. Scholarship and Fulbright Scholarship), but my knowledge is basically limited to my own field i.e. Electrical Engineering, can't generalize this info to be relevant to all fields. I'll suggest you should seek a second opinion from seniors in your own field. They'll be able to guide you better.
