About Poornima University - Scholarship

Poornima University believes that money should never stop a student from learning. That’s why the university offers many types of scholarships to help students who are hardworking, talented, or from financially weaker backgrounds. These scholarships support students by reducing their tuition fees and encouraging them to do their best in studies.

There are different kinds of scholarships available such as merit-based, need-based, government, and private scholarships. Students can apply for these based on their marks, family income, or special achievements.

Types of Scholarships

1. Merit-Based Scholarships:
   These are given to students who have high marks in their previous exams, like Class 12 or graduation. For example, students with more than 85% marks can get up to 70% fee waiver on tuition fees.

2. Need-Based Scholarships:
   These are for students who come from low-income families and may find it hard to pay full fees. Students have to show income certificates and other documents to apply.

3. Government Scholarships:
   Poornima University also helps students apply for scholarships offered by the Central and State Governments, like:

   • Post Matric Scholarship (for SC/ST/OBC students)

   • Minority Welfare Scholarships

   • National Scholarship Portal (NSP) Schemes

4. Private & Corporate Scholarships:
   Some private companies and trusts offer scholarships for selected students at Poornima University. These are often for students studying in Engineering, Management, or Technology fields.
