Bharti Airtel Foundation Merit-Cum-Means Based Scholarship

Bharti Airtel Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Bharti Enterprises, is launching a merit-cum-means based scholarship program aimed at supporting students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds to pursue technology-based UG engineering and integrated programs (up to five years) in the top 50 National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) (Engineering) colleges including IITs.

The scholarship will be awarded to students whose annual family income does not exceed Rs 8.5 lakh.

'Bharti Airtel Scholarship Program' mainly focuses on female students. Starting at 250 students this year, the scholarship will be applicable to students eligible for admission in August 2024.

“As the program reaches its peak, the ambition is to increase the reach to 4,000 scholars with an outlay of ₹100+ crore per year,” an official statement said.

The scholarship, which is fully funded, aims to remove financial barriers that prevent deserving students, especially those coming from disadvantaged backgrounds, from obtaining a quality education.
