FSC Scholarship Programme

FSC Scholarship Programme has been envisaged to provide critical minimum support to talented but needy students of educationally backward communities of India with an intention to develop human resources crucial for the advancement of human society. In a competitive world it is important to nurture the talents fraught in all communities and to provide meritorious students the desired opportunities to outshine their latent potential in almost all the fields of knowledge. The details regarding the approach and functioning of the FSC Scholarship Programme may be viewed in the annual reports of the Programme. Those who would like to sponsor and support the Programme may kindly visit the relevant page of 'Ways to Cooperate' of this site. The aspirants of any scholarship of the FSC are advised to go through the following guidelines very carefully and apply in the prescribed format.

The FSC is presently arranging 200 scholarships under FSC Loan Scholarships (FLS), 10 under Sadbhavana Scholarships (SBS), 50 under Special Scholarships for Gujarat (SGS) and a few under Special Scholarships for Orphans (SSO).

Although the aspirants from identified 21 states of North India are given the support under the Programme, however, the Programme is likely to cover other states of the country in due course of time and with the enhancement of its financial base.

The candidates are selected for the award of scholarships on the basis of eligibility, merit, written test and performance in interview. The beneficiaries selected for the FSC scholarships have to constantly keep their academic performance high apart from their active participation in the orientation programmes for comprehensive development. In case of interest free scholarship loans, they must sign an agreement and bond with the FSC to return the loan in easy installments.
