SCHOLARSHIPS IN INDIA – THE BASIC CLASSIFICATION OF SCHOLARSHIPS IN INDIA

Scholarships in India – Education plays a pivotal role in the progression of civilization. Social reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Vivekananda, Jyotirao Phule, and Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar believed that education is a necessary tool to eradicate social evils and inculcate rational thinking, thus, helped spread it among people. Their ideologies and efforts came to fruition when the Indian society, despite their prejudices, came to realize its importance in the advancement of the country.

Thus, keeping in line with the ideologies of the educational reformers, the post-independent Indian Government, NGOs, individuals, corporates and other organizations took concrete steps to make education accessible to all, especially to those with lesser means. Scholarships, grants, awards, and endowments have been made available to attract enrolments in schools and colleges.

To connect each and every section of the society with the scholarship ecosystem, bifurcation of scholarships has been done by the government as well as other organizations, which has resulted in students finding not only the pool of national scholarships but state and region as well. There’s also segmentation of scholarships according to means, merit, differently-abled, sports, cultural, minorities, and talent.

Scholarships like MoBitE Foundation Undergraduate Endowment ScholarshipInspire Merit cum Means ScholarshipMetropolitan ScholarshipRyan Merit cum Means ScholarshipIndian Oil Corporation Limited Scholarship, and HDFC Educational Crisis Scholarship are some of the examples of national scholarships which are specifically designed for students living across India. In a similar fashion, there are state scholarships which can only be availed by students having the domicile of a particular state. For example, Merit Scholarship for SC/ST/OBC/Minority Students of DelhiHaryana State Merit ScholarshipPrime Minister Special Scholarship Scheme (PMSSS) for J&K and some more, especially for students belonging to certain states.

Not only this but there are also some scholarships which are intended for students with specific needs, for example, NHFDC Trust Fund Scholarship for Differently-Abled StudentsSymbiosis Society Foundation Sports ScholarshipsCultural Talent Search Scholarship Scheme 2018-19 and Tagore National Fellowship/Scholarship.

The above-mentioned scholarships are but just a few drops in the vast sea of scholarships, several of which are not even known among students and teachers. Hence, to counter this issue, Learning with Vodafone Idea, a multi-linguistic scholarship platform, keeps track these scholarships and makes them available to students so that they do not feel left out while chasing their dreams.
