Scholarship Eligibility

All applicants must either attend an accredited four-year college or university for undergraduate studies, or will be attending in the Fall of 2025. Furthermore, they must be of Asian-Indian descent and graduate from an accredited high school in Georgia. High school seniors meeting these requirements are also eligible for the scholarship. Previous recipients of the scholarships are not eligible for Merit Based Scholarship, they can apply for Need based Scholarship. If you are not attending college in the fall 2025, you are not eligible.

The majority of the scholarships are based on financial need and merit combined. However, there are a few scholarships based solely on merit such as the written essay and the highest SAT/ACT scores. All academic scores and extra-curricular activities, including sports, will be used to evaluate the eligibility.

Please see the FAQs for any further questions.

5 Merit Scholarships and 10 Need based scholarships will be announced and awarded on August 16, 2025 at Festival Of India.

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: AUGUST 05, 2025
