Usha Martin University (UMU) offers a comprehensive scholarship program designed to support deserving and talented students, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder meritorious individuals from pursuing quality education. The scholarships are structured to reward academic excellence, aid economically weaker sections, and promote inclusiveness among various student groups.
Merit-Based Scholarships: These are awarded based on students’ academic achievements in their qualifying examinations. The highest merit scholarship is a 100% tuition fee waiver for male students who score above 95% in their qualifying exams. Male students scoring between 90% and 95% receive a 50% scholarship. Female students who score above 90% in any program also qualify for a 50% tuition waiver, while those scoring between 80% and 90% receive a 20% scholarship.
Domicile-Based Scholarships:Â Available to students with a Jharkhand domicile who are enrolled in any program at UMU. This scholarship offers a 10% tuition fee waiver. However, this cannot be combined with merit-based scholarships.
Special Categories:Â The university often extends special fee waivers or financial aid to reserved category students (such as SC/ST/OBC), female students, and in some cases, students with disabilities. The aim is to encourage enrollment from a diverse and socially inclusive student body.
Government Scholarships:Â Students at UMU can also apply for various state and central government scholarships, such as those provided through the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) and schemes like E-Kalyan, which further assist students from underprivileged backgrounds.
For merit-based scholarships, students must achieve specific academic thresholds in their qualifying exams (generally 80% or above, depending on the specific benefit).
For domicile-based scholarships, students must provide valid Jharkhand domicile certificates.
Reserved category students must present valid caste or disability certificates as applicable.
Scholarships are typically not offered for programs in Nursing, Pharmacy, and LLM.
Scholarships are applied for after admission through a separate scholarship form available on the university’s student portal or admissions office.
Students need to submit supporting documents such as:
Academic mark sheets and certificates,
Domicile certificate (for Jharkhand students),
Income certificate for financial aid,
Caste or disability certificates for reserved category scholarships,
Valid identity proof,
Recent passport-size photographs.
Government scholarships must be applied for directly through official portals, adhering to their respective application timelines and procedures.
Scholarships at UMU are generally valid for the entire duration of the enrolled program, provided the student maintains satisfactory academic progress.
Renewal of the scholarship is contingent upon meeting minimum academic criteria and compliance with university policies.
Students must reapply or confirm the continuation of their scholarship annually or as specified in the scholarship terms.
