** The admission policy at Nalanda University is fully need blind. It is assumed that the admitted candidates at NU are meritorious enough to be considered for pursuing their studies at Nalanda, while financial assistance, in the form of freeship or tuition fees waiver, is awarded on the basis of need only.

** Students who require financial support should apply for aid by filling out relevant fields in Application Form for admission. An admitted candidate will be declared eligible for a partial or full tuition waiver on the basis of the deliberations of the Financial Assistance Committee.

** The Committee may conduct an interview with the candidate to determine their suitability for the Freeship. The Committee would decide on the extent of financial support to the candidate after taking into consideration various parameters. The decision of the Committee will be final and no request for its review will be entertained.

For applying for financial assistance, the following documents should also be uploaded/submitted by the candidate along with the completed Application Form:
** Income tax return of all members of the family
** Other supporting documents (if any) viz. details of scholarship received previously

** The freeship will initially be granted for the first year only. The continuation of financial aid in subsequent years will depend on the academic performance of the student. If the student secures a CGPA of more than 8.0/10.0 in the first year, only then can they avail tuition waiver in the second year.

** In all cases, poorer academic performance may result in down-gradation or suspension of the scholarships/financial support. Apart from the academic performance, the conduct of the student in general during their period of study at the University will also account for the continuance of or the revoking of the freeship in subsequent year(s).

** Foreign nationals may also apply for scholarships under different Government of India schemes (CLMV Scholarship, ICCR Scholarship etc.), valid for Nalanda University. The information in this regard may be accessed through the Indian Embassies in the respective countries.
