What is this Tool?
The Scholarship Eligibility Checker helps students discover which scholarships they may qualify for based on their academic performance, family income, category, course level, and state. India has hundreds of government and private scholarships for meritorious and economically disadvantaged students — but many eligible students never apply simply because they don't know they qualify. This tool is a starting point to identify potential opportunities.
