The scholarship will be considered for students who have obtained atleast 60% or more marks in X class examination, from Government schools in six identified districts of Andhra Pradesh State. The districts selected are Adilabad, Karimnagar, Kurnool, Nalgonda, Srikakulam and Vizainagaram. The Foundation hopes to add more districts in coming years. Such qualifying applications will then be subjected to a financial need criteria described below.

From among the qualifying applicants, deserving beneficiaries will be selected based on their financial need. Inability of the qualifying applicant and his family to support higher education financially will be important criteria for determining scholarship beneficiaries.
