Financial Aid by GITAM

At GITAM, we firmly believe that all students deserve a fair shot at quality education and to be rewarded for their continued excellence. For this reason, GITAM offers scholarships that students can utilise to further their education. By providing degree scholarships to deserving candidates, we strive to ensure that their sole focus remains on their education and their financial situation doesn’t get in the way of their success.

Merit Scholarships

Merit Scholarships are awarded to students who showcase an excellent performance record, be it in academics or sports. Students with consistently high scores or track records can apply and qualify for financial aid by GITAM, given that they fit the eligibility criteria.

Sports Scholarships

Besides providing sporting facilities, GITAM (Deemed to be University) also offers Sports Scholarships to the athletes, who excel in their chosen area of sports. We believe that this creates an environment of healthy competition between the students and motivates them to constantly better themselves. The aim of this scholarship is to provide athletes with an opportunity to get quality education and earn a degree by playing the sport they love.
