Duration of Scholarships/financial support :

To begin with, any scholarship or financial support is granted for one year. Scholarships / financial support are extended for the subsequent year(s) subject to satisfactory academic performance, maintenance of hostel / university discipline and good conduct to be reviewed at the end of first year. Poor academic performance may result in down-gradation of the scholarships/financial support to a lower level. All recipients of scholarships and financial support must therefore be regular in attending classes and make full efforts in sustaining and improving their academic performance. First year scholarships and financial support will cover the summer vacation period at the end of first year. In the second year of all master level programmes, the scholarships and financial support would cease at the end of the academic session i.e. end of May (of the passing out year) and will not cover the summer vacation period at the end of second year.

M.Phil. / Ph.D. fellowships from external agencies :

M.Phil./Ph.D. students who have qualified for JRF support from agencies like the Indian UGC/CSIR/DBT and ICMR, may avail of the fellowship at SAU as per the terms and conditions of the granting agencies.

While the SAU has a liberal policy for giving Financial Support to students from economically weaker families, it is not guaranteed that all applicants would necessarily receive some scholarship or financial support. It is possible that students from relatively well-off families may not receive any support from the University. Students must be prepared to meet the deficit from their own sources.

President’s Scholarship (For M.A./M.Sc. and LL.M. students only) :

Any candidate who secures first position in his/her country’s merit list drawn on the basis of candidates’ performance in the entrance test, in any academic program, is straight away offered, along with admission letter, full scholarship, called President’s Scholarship, provided he/she falls within top 10 percentile of the combined all country merit list of that academic program. The President’s Scholarship will grant full tuition, hostel fee waiver and a living allowance of INR 7000 per month. The President’s scholarship is not granted to subsequent position holders if the first position holder does not join SAU.
