Scholarship

Candidates who apply for scholarships are carefully assessed and scholarships are granted to the most deserving.

We aim to support all the Yatris through various levels of scholarship.

Scholarship opportunities are awarded on the basis of merit and financial need of the candidate. Selected applicants will need to fill up the additional Scholarship Form if they wish to apply for a scholarship in their application. All the candidates seeking a scholarship must submit supporting official income documents.

We also urge selected Yatris to look for alternative sources of financial aid. We have a brief guide to help Yatris in approaching funding sources like trusts, colleges and corporations to raise their own fees.
