Eligibility of Swami Dayanand Scholarship Program
** Our scholarships will be provided to only those students studying in government or aided schools in 10th grade. Students scoring 85% or higher in 10th and 12th grade CBSE can qualify for our scholarships.
** Children studying in private schools in 10th grade are not eligible for our scholarships. If you are studying at a school affiliated with state boards, please let us know in advance so that we can process your application separately.
** Age limit – Our scholarships are restricted to students 18 or younger entering their first year of college.
** Candidates should fill out the applications themselves. Applicants and their parents must sign the last page of the application and mail it or upload it with the application.
** We are also restricting the gap year’s requirements to a maximum of one year. If you have taken two or more years of drop, you will not be eligible for our scholarships, as we feel it is unfair to the students who have not taken a drop or one year at the most. Preference will be given to students who have not taken a drop year after school.
** After reviewing candidates last year, we are changing the minimum annual family income limits. We have set a minimum family income requirement of 1.2 lacs per annum. We want to help the section of society with an income between 1.2 and 8 lacs who are not getting any fee waiver from the institute or college.
** Preference will be given to students who can submit salary slips, income tax returns, or documents verifying their parents’ income. Please let us know if your parents can speak Hindi or English.
