Azim Premji Scholarship 2026 Open — ₹30,000 a Year for Girl Students
Azim Premji Foundation has opened Round 1 applications for the Azim Premji Scholarship 2026 from August 10 to August 31, 2026. Girl students who cleared Class 10 and Class 12 from government schools receive ₹30,000 every year for the full duration of their first undergraduate degree or diploma.
What the Scholarship Offers
The Azim Premji Scholarship supports girl students from disadvantaged backgrounds who are entering college for the first time. The aim is to remove the cost barrier that pushes many girls out of higher education after Class 12.
Selected students receive ₹30,000 per year. The support continues for the entire duration of the first undergraduate degree or diploma, not just the first year.
The money is credited directly to the student's own bank account. That is why bank details are a mandatory part of the application.

You can apply if you meet all of these conditions:
• You are a girl student.
• You passed Class 10 and Class 12 as a regular student from a government school or government college.
