UPES Dehradun has announced a merit-based scholarship applicable to all students appearing for entrance examinations. Nearly 2,000 scholarships will be awarded for the academic year 2022-23, more than 50 percent of which are reserved for girls.
The scholarship is awarded in the range of 20 to 100 percent on tuition fees to the top 10 percent of students who score highest in UPES entrance exams. The scholarship will be extended in subsequent semesters if the eligibility requirements are met.
“This is the third year of UPES girls’ scholarships under the ‘Shakti’ initiative which aims to promote higher education among girls and encourage them to move from classrooms to boardrooms. In just three years, from 2020 to 2022, UPES has offered and announced more than 5000 girls’ scholarships. The university has had an overwhelming response from female students and their families belonging to Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Haryana, Maharashtra and Jharkhand over the past two years,” the institute said.
Apart from the merit scholarship, UPES also offers an additional 33 percent housing scholarship to all students who are residents of Uttarakhand.
