Sibsagar University (formerly Sibsagar College) provides financial support to its students primarily through government-sponsored scholarship schemes. As a state-funded university, it acts as a facilitator for students to access various central and state-level welfare programs.
Eligible students can apply for the following scholarships, typically managed through the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) or the State Government’s portal:
Post-Matric Scholarships: Available for students belonging to SC, ST, and OBC categories. These are state-managed schemes that provide financial assistance to help cover tuition and maintenance costs.
Central Sector Schemes: Students can apply for various national-level scholarships, such as:
Central Sector Scheme of Scholarship for College and University Students.
Merit-cum-Means Scholarship for students from minority communities pursuing professional or technical courses.
Prime Minister’s Scholarship Scheme for wards of defense and paramilitary personnel.
Specialized Grants:
NEC Merit Scholarship: Financial support for students from the North Eastern Region pursuing professional courses, funded by the North Eastern Council (NEC).
INSPIRE Scholarship: Targeted at students pursuing basic and natural sciences at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
Merit-based Aid: The university provides internal financial assistance to top-performing students in semester or final-year examinations.
Fee Concessions: Special consideration is often given to students from economically weaker sections (EWS), BPL (Below Poverty Line) families, and those belonging to SC/ST categories, subject to verification of documents and academic standing (e.g., maintaining a good CGPA/SGPA and having no backlogs).
"Earn While You Learn" Scheme: The university has introduced an "Earn while you learn" scheme (noted in recent official notifications, May 2026) to provide students with opportunities to support themselves financially while pursuing their studies.
