Designed for top-performing students, our merit scholarships are available in slabs of 100%, 75%, 60%, 40%, 25%, and 15% of tuition fees, ensuring that academic excellence is rewarded.
Need-Based Scholarships
Providing additional financial support for students from lower-income families, these scholarships are layered on top of merit-based awards, creating a holistic support system for deserving students.
