Scholarship Exam Details

Vidyadhan is a prestigious higher-education scholarship initiative under the Sarojini Damodaran Foundation (SDF). It targets meritorious students from economically disadvantaged families who have just completed Class 10. For 2026, the scholarship provides financial support ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹60,000 per year, depending on the state and the level of study. The scholarship is unique because it follows a "State-Chapter" model, with dedicated programs for states like Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and Maharashtra. It typically covers Class 11 and 12, but for students who continue to perform exceptionally well, the foundation extends the support into their degree or professional courses. Selection is rigorous, involving an initial screening of marks followed by a written test and a personal interview.
