Jagannath University offers a variety of scholarships aimed at supporting deserving students financially. Established in 2013, the university provides scholarships based on academic merit, domicile status, and specific criteria for certain student groups. The scholarships are designed to encourage academic excellence and assist students in pursuing their higher education goals.
The university offers several scholarship categories, primarily focusing on merit-based assistance. The Merit Scholarship provides varying percentages of tuition fee waivers based on the marks obtained in qualifying examinations.
For instance, students scoring 95% and above can receive a 50% tuition fee waiver, while those with marks between 90% and 94.99% are eligible for a 40% waiver. The percentage decreases for lower score brackets, with students scoring between 60% and 84.99% receiving a 15% waiver.
Additionally, Jagannath University has a Haryana Domicile Scholarship program, which offers up to 100% tuition fee waivers for students who possess a Haryana domicile certificate. This initiative is in accordance with the provisions of the University Act, aiming to support local students in their educational pursuits.
The Post-Matric Scholarship (PMS) is another significant offering, specifically targeting Haryana SC (Scheduled Castes) and OBC (Other Backward Classes) students. This scholarship grants 100% tuition fee coverage for students whose family income does not exceed INR 2,50,000 per annum.
To maintain the integrity of the scholarship programs, Jagannath University has established specific eligibility criteria and terms. Students can only avail themselves of one type of scholarship at a time, and the scholarship will be revoked if the student fails to pay the remaining dues within the stipulated timeframe. Furthermore, students receiving a scholarship through these programs are not eligible for any additional scholarships or stipends during their course of study.
