The Scholarship Programme is a common approach used by universities worldwide to support their students with financial assistance. At O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU), our financial aid system aims to support the dreams of our students. A JGU Scholarship is not just financial assistance but a pathway to success and achievement for our students.

We ensure that our scholarships reach deserving students and help them thrive in their academic careers. Every year, JGU follows a Merit cum Means (MCM) basis for scholarships, inviting applications from students. We maintain a robust review system where the Scholarship Committee evaluates each application with equality and transparency. The criteria considered include merit (CGPA) and means (family income), covering a wide range of factors including academic performance and achievements in co-curricular activities such as arts, sports, debates, and cultural activities.

Rules and regulations related to scholarships are reviewed annually to adapt to external changes and uncertainties, ensuring maximum benefit for students.

Some points to keep in mind before applying for a JGU Scholarship:

• Students are not eligible to receive multiple scholarships or fee concessions.
• All scholarships and fellowships are subject to review.
• JGU offers scholarships on a merit cum means basis as per university policy.

Education Loan Support: JGU has established tie-ups with AVANSE (ICICI), Dena Bank, Axis Bank, and Credila (HDFC) to facilitate educational loans for admitted students at the university. Learn more about education loan support here.
