Scholarship Exam Details

The Azim Premji Scholarship Program is a massive merit-cum-need initiative aimed at supporting students who wish to make a social impact. For the 2026 session, the foundation has launched a National Scholarship specifically targeting Girl Students from disadvantaged backgrounds who have completed their schooling from Government Schools. The scholarship provides ₹30,000 per year for the entire duration (2 to 5 years) of an undergraduate degree or diploma. Regions of focus include Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. This is a "Transformational" grant, meaning it prioritizes first-generation learners who show the resilience to break the cycle of poverty through education. It is widely considered one of India’s most transparent and community-rooted private scholarships.
