The School of Planning and Architecture (SPA), Vijayawada, does not typically offer its own full-ride or "institutional" scholarships. Instead, students rely on various government-funded schemes, merit-based assistance, and state-level support.
These are the most prominent forms of financial aid available to students, usually administered through the National Scholarship Portal (NSP):
Top Class Education for SC Students: Funded by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, this scheme provides financial assistance for tuition, books, stationery, and technology (laptops/computers).
Eligibility: Must belong to the SC category with an annual family income below ?4.5–8 lakhs (varies by specific scheme guidelines).
National Fellowship and Scholarship for ST Students: Funded by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, this provides support for tuition, living expenses, and study materials.
Eligibility: Must belong to the ST category with an annual family income below ?6 lakhs.
Postgraduate students (M.Arch/M.Plan) who have qualified for national entrance exams are eligible for financial support:
GATE Stipend: Students admitted with a valid GATE score receive a monthly stipend (currently ?8,000 per month as per government norms).
While the institute does not provide "full" scholarships, it facilitates merit-based support:
Merit-Cum-Means Scholarship: Available for students demonstrating strong academic performance and financial need (typically defined as a family income below ?3 lakhs).
Performance-Based Waivers: Some students may qualify for partial tuition fee waivers (20% to 50%) based on high performance in entrance exams (like JEE Main) or semester examinations, though these are subject to institute policy for the specific academic year.
Jnanabhumi Portal: As an institution located in Andhra Pradesh, SPA Vijayawada students who are domicile residents of the state may apply for fee reimbursement schemes provided by the Government of Andhra Pradesh. Eligibility is subject to specific income and category criteria set by the state.
