Recognizing the financial challenges encountered by numerous students, JIS University provides a range of scholarship programs designed to enhance access to higher education. These scholarships are crucial in offering financial support to deserving students, enabling talented individuals to pursue their academic goals without being impeded by financial limitations.

Types of Scholarships  

Merit-Based Scholarships: These scholarships are granted to students based on their exceptional performance in entrance examinations and their prior academic achievements. High-performing students receive financial assistance that covers a portion of their tuition fees. This initiative fosters academic excellence among students, encouraging them to uphold high standards in their educational pursuits.

Merit-cum-Means Scholarships: JIS University also offers scholarships aimed at economically disadvantaged students who exhibit strong academic capabilities. The merit-cum-means scholarships are designed to ease the financial strain on students who demonstrate potential and commitment to their studies but lack the financial means to pursue higher education.

Government Scholarships: In addition to scholarships funded by the university, students may qualify for various government scholarship programs, such as the Swami Vivekananda Merit-cum-Means Scholarship available to students from West Bengal. These scholarships provide financial assistance based on various eligibility criteria established by state and national regulations.

Special Scholarships for Specific Programs: Certain academic programs, particularly in disciplines such as engineering and management, may offer specialized scholarships to attract high-achieving students. These scholarships may be awarded based on criteria such as performance in entrance examinations or specific talents in related areas.

Application Procedure  

Students interested in obtaining scholarships are generally required to complete a distinct application form that outlines their academic background, financial circumstances, and other pertinent details. The scholarship committee assesses applications by considering both academic merit and the expressed need for financial support. It is advisable for students to submit their applications promptly, as the availability of scholarship funds may be restricted.

In addition, the university takes proactive measures to raise awareness regarding the various scholarship opportunities through informational sessions and workshops. Students receive guidance on effectively completing scholarship applications and compiling supporting documents that improve their likelihood of receiving financial assistance.
