Universities provide a wide range of scholarships that offer financial support to students. Scholarships pay for a fixed portion of tuition fee costs. Living expenses or other study-related expenses, on the other hand, may not be covered in the financial aid given by scholarships.

Scholarships are available at any level, whether you are looking to join at the Foundation level, the Diploma level, the Undergraduate or the Postgraduate level. You may apply for a scholarship if you meet the eligibility requirements of a particular university (this differs between universities.) Note that you may be eligible to avail of one scholarship only at a time in a particular university.

The most common scholarship schemes that are available are:

1. Academic Merit-based Scholarships

2. Sports-based Scholarships

Academic merit-based scholarships are based on previous academic results, and may help the student attain anywhere between 10% to 100% scholarship.

Though it is subject to specific university principles, most universities have the following conditions that must be fulfilled in order to be eligible for scholarship:

Be a student who is currently in high school or in college

Have a GPA not less than a certain level as specified by the university

Demonstrate a need for financial aid

A strong, consistent GPA is a basic requirement for most scholarships. Many scholarships need a GPA of at least 3.0 or 3.5.

If the award is renewable on an annual basis, instead of a one-time award, a student should maintain his GPA at a certain grade annually. This could also serve as a source of motivation for the student to be consistent in scoring high.

Different scholarship programmes provide a different percentage of the tuition fee as financial aid. This proves helpful for talented students who may not have the finances needed for the ever-increasing college expenses. An income that is less than a certain amount is a criterion that is easily verifiable.
