Azim Premji Scholarship 2026: The Azim Premji Foundation has started online registration for the Azim Premji Scholarship 2026-27 batch, which is an empowering scheme for providing financial assistance to qualified female students in government institutes. The scholarship programme will be open to girls who have passed their Class 10 & Class 12 as regular students of a government school or college in a qualifying State/UT, with an annual scholarship of ₹30,000 for 2-5 years (a maximum of ₹1.5 Lakh). Students should be enrolled in the first year of a full-time recognised bachelor's degree/diploma course in any credible government/private institute in India.
It’s important to mention that this non-merit-based scheme focuses on inclusion rather than the grades or caste and financial background of candidates.
