For 2026, the foundation provides up to $100,000 (approx. ₹83 Lakhs) to cover tuition, living expenses, and one-way travel for Master's and PhD programs.

Importantly, the foundation does not fund Business, Engineering, or basic Medicine. The selection process is legendary for its rigor, involving two rounds of interviews with a panel of India’s most distinguished experts.
