Scholarship Exam Details

The Sashakt Scholarship is a transformative initiative by Dr. Reddy's Foundation (DRF) aimed at encouraging young women to pursue careers in Pure and Natural Sciences. In a landscape where women are often steered toward medicine or engineering, "Sashakt" (Empowered) rewards those who choose B.Sc. programs in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Mathematics. For 2026, the scholarship provides a generous annual grant of ₹80,000 for all three years of graduation. This amount is designed to cover tuition fees, living expenses, and hostel charges. What makes Sashakt unique is its focus on Rural Talent; preference is given to bright girls from low-income families who have studied in rural or government schools. Scholars are also connected with senior women scientists who act as mentors, providing a direct window into the world of scientific research and development
